Recently sound speed measurements in high temperature liquid lead have been made over a wide density range. Such measurements may be combined with other thermophysical properties measured with the isobaric expansion experiment (IEX) to yield several additional thermodynamic quantities. Results of calculations based on the sound speed measurements are presented, and their impact on liquid metal phenomenology is discussed.
