Vapor pressures of water over KNO/sub 3/-H/sub 2/O and LiNO/sub 3/-KNO/sub 3/-H/sub 2/O (50.34 cation % Li) are reported in the temperature range 373 less than or equal to T/K less than or equal to 436. Water activities calculated from these vapor pressures and other available results are fitted to an equation appropriate for multicomponent electrolyte solutions which are miscible to fused salts. The resulting equation gives the excess Gibbs energy over the complete composition range of the three-component system. Parameters for the binary fused salt mixture are determined from aqueous solution data and compared with approximate values calculated from phase diagrams. Excess thermodynamic properties, including solute activity coefficients and excess enthalpies, are calculated from the model.
