Abstract
A theory of the surface tension of molten salts is presented, based on a result obtained by Reiss, Frisch, Helfand, and Lebowitz and a theory of corresponding states. This theory allows one to compute the surface tension of a salt if the diameters of the ionic hard cores are known along with the densities of the salts at a given temperature. Agreement with experiment is very good.Keywords
