The positive enthalpies of mixing determined for the compositional range between 0 and 33.3 mol% Na 2 O, combined with entropies for the same compositions based on ideal mixing involving Q 4 and Q 3 species, allowed us to calculate a liquidliquid solvus in good agreement with the experimental data of Haller et al.

This demonstrates a high degree of compatibility among the data for entropy, enthalpy, and phase equilibrium and also confirms the requirement of positive enthalpies of mixing for liquid immiscibility in the SiO 2 Na 2 O system.

Introduction In view of their simple chemistry and relatively low glass transition temperatures, sodium silicates have long been used as a starting point for investigating the relationships among the structure, chemical composi- tion and physical properties of silicate glasses and melts (e.g. Mysen, 1988). Liquidus phase relationships in the system SiO 2 Na 2 O were determined as early as 1930 (Kracek, 1930) but it was almost 40 years later that the existence of a metastable miscibility gap in the liquid phase at SiO 2 -rich compositions was discovered (Porai-Koshits and Averjanov, 1968; Haller et al., 1974). This latter feature, common to many silica metal oxide binary systems, is of interest as it implies positive Gibbs free energies of mixing such that two different liquid compositions have identical chemical potentials of endmember components at the same temperature. Therefore, although the assumption of ideal mixing would appear to be sufficient to rationalize 0009-2541/$ - see front matter D 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Chemical Geology 213 (2004) 173186 www.elsevier.com/locate/chemgeo the liquidus phase relations in this system (e.g. Halter and Mysen, 2004), it is clear that a complete thermodynamic model of sodium silicate liquids must take into account the presence of the miscibility gap. Ideally, the assessment of such thermodynamic models requires the possibility of separating the enthalpic and entropic contributions to the Gibbs free energy of mixing. In this respect it is of note that within the framework of the theory of structural relaxation in viscous liquids proposed by Adam and Gibbs (1965), configurational entropies of liquids can be estimated from viscosity and heat capacity data (Richet, 1984). For the system SiO 2 Na 2 O, such an analysis infers strongly positive configurational entropies of mixing in the silicic part of the system (Toplis, 2001). Thus, if both entropies (S ex ) and Gibbs free energies of mixing ( G ex ) are positive, then enthalpies of mixing (H ex ) also must be positive for immiscibility to exist, owing to the standard thermodynamic relationship G ex = H ex TS ex , where T is absolute temperature. Several studies have attempted to determine enthal- pies of mixing from measurements of enthalpies of solution of SiO 2 Na 2 O binary glasses either in hydro- fluoric acid (HF) solutions near room temperature (Hummel and Schweite, 1959; Tischer, 1969; Takaha- shi and Yoshio, 1970) or in a molten salt near 970 K (Rogez and Mathieu, 1985). None have concluded that large positive heats of mixing exist for silicic compo- sitions. However, none of the previous studies adjusted data to calculate the isothermal variation of enthalpy as a function of composition in the liquid state. This essential step must be performed before attempting any quantitative modeling of liquidliquid, or liquidsolid phase equilibria because of the large difference in fictive temperature of pure SiO 2 versus Na-bearing compositions. Anewcalorimetric investigation of sodium silicates is reported in this paper. Because of their ready dissolution, glasses in this system have been dissolved in HF solution at 50 8C, where the measurements can have high precision (Hovis et al., 1998). From these experiments enthalpies of solution between SiO 2 and Na 2 SiO 3 have been determined, with average standard errors of F0.51 (2r) kJ/mol. After correction for the fictive temperature we then assess to what extent the results are consistent with the known miscibility gap in this system. Furthermore, owing to the considerable structural information available on sodium silicates, our results may also be interpreted and discussed in terms of the properties of the species that have been identified in spectroscopic studies of melt structure. 2. Experimental procedures 2.1. Solution calorimetry The hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution calorimetric system utilized in this investigation has been described by Hovis and Roux (1993) and Hovis et al. (1998). This system has the potential to produce highly precise data on small samples (Hovis et al., 1998), although in the present study no dissolutions were performed on samples smaller than 39 mg. Each calorimetric experi- ment took place in 910.1 g (about 1liter) of 20.1 wt.% HF at 50 8C under isoperibolic conditions (i.e. the temperature of the mediumsurrounding the calorimeter was held constant) using an internal sample container (Waldbaum and Robie, 1970). Either one or two experiments were performed in each liter of acid. Multiple experiments in the same solution had no detectable effect on the data, the result of the high dilution of dissolved ions in the acid. Experiments were conducted on materials ranging from lightly crushed to more highly ground materials. The effects of grain size are discussed below. 2.2. Sample synthesis The SiO 2 glass was the same high-purity sample as that investigated by Richet et al. (1982) by drop calorimetry. To investigate samples with different fictive temperatures, 700 mg of coarse powders were annealed in a light Pt cup at 1387, 1441 and 1526 K for 70, 7 and 0.3 h, respectively, after having being rinsed for a few minutes in a fresh HF solution. The samples then were quenched rapidly by dipping the bottom of the cup into water. The annealing temperatures were measured with a newly prepared PtRh 6 PtRh 30 thermocouple placed in contact with the samples in the electric muffle furnace. Sodium silicate samples were synthesized from reagent grade sodium carbonate and silica as described by Richet et al. (1984). The Na 2 SiO 3 sample was from the batch investigated in the latter study. Other G.L. Hovis et al. / Chemical Geology 213 (2004) 173186 174 glasses were those investigated by Jarry and Richet (2001). For these new samples, chemical homoge- neity was ensured by stirring of the fluid melts. After synthesis, all except the two most sodic glasses were ground (by request of GH), then sent by express mail delivery to Lafayette College, where upon receipt they were placed in desiccators. All samples were dried at 125 8C for periods ranging from hours to days prior to the solution calorimetric dissolutions. The glass compositions reported in this paper are the nominal compositions. 3. Results 3.1. Calorimetric data Calorimetric results for the original samples of this study are recorded in Table 1 and shown as squares in Fig. 1, where data are reported as the negatives of the heats of solution (for which concave down curvature indicates positive enthalpies of mixing). In general, the initial solution calorimetric experiments, many of which were made on finely ground glasses, produced unsatisfactory data. Calorimetric reproducibility for individual samples was as poor as 1%, in contrast to numerous previous studies in which precision typically has been 0.1% to 0.3%. Furthermore, it was difficult to make sense of the variation of data with chemical composition, particularly for Na-rich samples. After these initial calorimetric experiments were conducted, it was discovered that the most finely ground samples, those with compositions from 25 through 40 mol% Na 2 O, had developed NaOH on the glass surfaces from exposure to air during shipping. The NaOH in turn reacted with airborne CO 2 to form Na carbonate, a phenomenon that is common in Na silicate glasses. Indeed, tests with dilute HCl on these samples produced vigorous bubbling. Simple drying at 125 8C would not have eliminated contamination of the samples. The initial calorimetric results on fine-grained sodic samples therefore suffered from at least three factors: An unwanted heat component from the dissolution of Na carbonate, inaccurate sample weights for the glasses themselves due to the added presence of Na carbonate, and loss of heat during the calorimetric experiments due to the escape of carbon dioxide from the calorimeter during HF dissolution of the Na carbonate. To resolve these problems, a new glass sample (0202) at 40 mol% Na 2 O was synthesized at CRPG- CNRS in Nancy, France. A portion of the resulting glass was transported to the US as a single 7.15 g specimen, stored in a desiccator, then crushed (not ground) just prior to calorimetric dissolution. The resulting calorimetric data differed substantially from those of the original 40 mol% Na 2 O sample (0017). Therefore, sample 0017 was remelted (1450 8C, 10 min, air quench, producing sample 0301) and dissolved anew. The resulting calorimetric data for the remelted sample were indistinguishable from those of 0202 (Fig. 2). The new calorimetric data confirmed the aforementioned problems with the original specimens. The results also indicated, how- ever, that the Na-bearing glasses could be restored to their original carbonate-free condition by simple remelting for a short period of time. Thus, all other glasses were remelted at 1450 8C. To minimize high-temperature loss of Na, most specimens were heated for just 10 min, although the higher viscosity glasses at 15 and 20 mol% Na 2 O needed remelting periods of 3045 min. The glasses were quenched in air, then immediately placed in desiccators. The initial calorimetric dissolution on each remelted glass was conducted within hours of the remelting. Grain sizes for these dissolutions were either fine chips or somewhat larger pieces (several millimeters in diameter), but in no case powders. Calorimetric experiments on remelted samples (Table 1) reproduced original data for samples at 15 and 20 mol% Na 2 O (see Fig. 2). This can be attributed to minimal carbonate formation in the original samples due to their low Na content. In fact, even after months of storage the powders of the latter samples did not produce a visible reaction with dilute HCl. The new experiments also repro- duced original data on samples at 45 and 50 mol% Na 2 O, most likely due to the coarse grain size and small surface area of the original calorimetric samples. Glasses with compositions between 25 and 40 mol% Na 2 O, however, for which early results were based on finely ground samples, gave very different data from initial results. Moreover, the data for glasses with higher contents of Na 2 O display greater differences from data on original G.L.

Data at mol fractions of 0.15 and 0.20 Na 2 O for original and remelted samples are essentially superimposed. Note the agreement between data for new sample 0202 and for remelted sample 0301 at the same composition, both of which are different from initial results. Smaller open squares are discarded data for contaminated samples; note that differences between data for remelted samples and initial results generally increase for samples with compositions from 0.25 to 0.40 mol fraction Na 2 O. Solid curve corresponds to the fourth-order fit to the final selected data set (Eq. (2)); the dashed curve represents the fourth-order fit to heats of mixing (Eq. (3), Fig. 3) after addition to enthalpies of solution along the line of ideal mixing. Fig. 3. Comparison of present calorimetric data adjusted to a fictive temperature of 1000 K with data of previous workers, all of which are unadjusted for fictive temperature. The data point of Takahashi and Yoshio (1970) for pure silica is hidden by data points from the present study. Note the changes in slope of data from previous workers at Na 2 ON0.3. G.L. Hovis et al. / Chemical Geology 213 (2004) 173186 178 HF at 26.5 8C on glasses whose thermal history is unknown. Later, Tischer (1969) performed HF dis- solutions with a Bunsen calorimeter in 39% HF at 26.91 8C on brapidly quenchedQ glasses using 1-g samples enclosed in gelatin capsules introduced into 80 ml of acid. Note that the acid quantity and concentration of these two studies are very different from those of the present work. Enthalpies of solution in both studies can be described by two linear segments with a break in slope at approximately 33 mol% Na 2 O. However, in neither case were adjust- ments made to account for the fact that glass transition temperatures for each composition are different, an essential consideration when calculating isothermal enthalpies of mixing, as discussed below. Similar measurements have also been made either in 5% HF solutions and in pure water by Takahashi and Yoshio (1970). Other measurements have been reported only in a graphical form at higher temperatures for composi- tions from pure-silica to 50% Na 2 O by Rogez and Mathieu (1985). Because dissolutions were made in molten lead borate at 876 K, all samples but pure SiO 2 were supercooled liquids. When referenced to pure silica and 50% Na 2 O end members, their data show approximately ideal thermodynamic behavior at silicic compositions, but strongly negative enthal- pies of mixing between about 20 and 50 mol% Na 2 O. 3.3. Adjustments for fictive temperature Application of the data presented here to thermody- namic calculations relative to the liquid state (e.g. the solvus, as discussed below) is not immediate because our solution calorimetry measurements have been made on glasses. Although effects of thermal history of glasses on enthalpies of mixing of liquids have long been discussed (Richet and Bottinga, 1984), this essential step in the treatment of data warrants some discussion. To convert measured heats of solution to those of liquids under isothermal conditions, one must take into account the fact that the temperature at which the glass becomes a liquid (the glass transition temperature, T g ) is different for each composition. As previously discussed (Richet and Bottinga, 1984, 1986), relative enthalpies at a common reference temperature in the liquid state may be calculated by adjusting measured values of the enthalpy of glasses with enthalpies of annealing given by: DH a
Z T r T g Cp l Cp g
dT 1 where DH a is the correction to be applied, Cp l and Cp g are the heat capacities of the liquid and glass, respectively, T g is the glass transition temperature and T r is an arbitrary reference temperature. Application of Eq. (1) is complicated by the fact that even at fixed composition the glass transition temperature is not uniquely defined, but rather a function of the thermal history of the sample (with the consequence that the enthalpy of a glass depends on its thermal history, as illustrated by the experiments of Tischer, 1969). In the simplest case one may work on samples which have been annealed at a known temperature for a sufficient length of time that structural relaxation is complete, then cooled sufficiently quickly that no further structural changes occur. This is the approach which has been employed for our SiO 2 samples. Sodium silicate samples have not been annealed, but for these samples we make use of the fact that, even for liquids continuously cooled across the glass transition range, one may define a temperature (called the fictive temperature) at which the actual configuration of the glass would be the equilibrium configuration of the supercooled liquid. For a given cooling rate, the viscosity of liquids at the fictive temperature is constant, thus this temperature may be simply calculated if one knows the viscosity of the liquid as a function of temperature and the cooling rate (e.g. see equation and discussion in Toplis et al., 2001). However, although the cooling rates of our liquids are not known exactly, they are similar for all sodium-bearing samples. Thus, we have chosen to define the fictive temperature of all Na-bearing glasses as the temperature at which the viscosity is 10 12 Pa s (values shown in Table 1), using viscosities as determined by Jarry and Richet (2001). We note too that as demonstrated by the experiments of Sipp et al. (1997) T g is affected only 1020 8C by typical laboratory cooling rates, representing a second order effect relative to that of changing composition, and one that would affect G.L. Hovis et al. / Chemical Geology 213 (2004) 173186 179 adjustment of the calorimetric data for T g by a few tenths of a kJ/mol at most. Eq. (1) has been applied to our calorimetric measurements assuming a reference temperature of 1000 K. Heat capacities of each composition were calculated from values of partial molar heat capacity of SiO 2 and Na 2 O components given by Richet (1987) and Richet et al. (1984) for glasses and liquids, respectively. The resulting adjustments to DH a from Eq. (1) are slightly greater for the pure-SiO 2 samples, whose fictive temperatures are in the range 1387 1526 K, and of opposite sign to those of Na-bearing glasses whose fictive temperatures are generally between 700 and 800 K. The good agreement of adjusted data for remelted samples at 15, 20, 45, and 50 mol%, and those for original samples at the same compositions, confirms that any cooling rate depend- ence of T g for Na-bearing samples is not significant relative to the precision of the data. The enthalpies obtained from Eq. (1) have been included in Table 1 and subtracted from the measured enthalpies of solution to yield isothermal enthalpy values (last column, Table 1). Fig. 2 shows the final selected data, all adjusted for fictive temperature, but excluding inaccurate data from contaminated samples. Included are data for both original and remelted specimens at 15, 20, 45, and 50 mol% Na 2 O, data for original specimens at 0% and 10% Na 2 O, and data for remelted specimens (only) at compositions from 25 through 40 mol% Na 2 O. The negatives of the resulting enthalpies of solution (H soln ) are expressed well by a fourth-order polynomial: H soln kJ=mol 142:2 138:9X Na 757X 2 Na 1984X 3 Na 1632X 4 Na 2 where X Na is mole fraction of Na 2 O in the glass. One sees that the enthalpies of solution vary in an essentially linear fashion for compositions between 50 and 30 mol% Na 2 O. However, distinct curvature is found in the compositional region between 0 and 30 mol% Na 2 O, inferring the existence of excess enthalpies of mixing in this range, as discussed below. 4. Thermodynamic mixing properties for SiO 2 Na 2 O liquids 4.1. The choice of mixing units The enthalpy of mixing (H ex ) is defined as the difference between the measured enthalpy of a given composition and that of an isochemical mechanical mixture of relevant endmember compositions. For the data presented here derivation of enthalpies of mixing between pure SiO 2 and Na 2 SiO 3 would result in complex variations of excess enthalpies across the system. In light of the general form of heats of solution shown in Fig. 2, and because there is particular interest in accurate characterization of relations at silica-rich compositions, three endmember compositions at 0, 33.3 and 50 mol% Na 2 O are here defined. These components effectively divide the system into two binary subsystems. These compo- nents correspond to Q 4 , Q 3 and Q 2 species defined from NMR spectroscopic studies (silica tetrahedra surrounded by 0, 1 and 2 non-bridging oxygens, respectively). This fact therefore provides a physical basis for this choice of components, as well as justification for considering data in the range 0 to 33 mol% Na 2 O separately from that between 33 and 50 mol% Na 2 O. Using these three endmembers, then, excess enthalpies clearly exist in the range 033 mol% Na 2 O. On the other hand, the heats of solution between 33 and 50 mol% Na 2 O are nearly linear with respect to composition, requiring little or no excess heat related to mixing. Indeed, the change in slope of the heats of solution near 33 mol% Na 2 O could be ascribed to the fact that, in the range 033 mol% Na 2 O, addition of sodium predominantly (although not exclusively) leads to creation of Q 3 - species, while in the range 3350 mol% Na 2 O additions of sodium predominantly lead to the creation of Q 2 -species. 4.2. Enthalpies of mixing between 0 and 33 mol% Na 2 O Heats of mixing between 0 and 33 mol% Na 2 O have been computed by subtracting heats of solution along a line of bideal mixingQ from the observed en- thalpies of solution, after adjustment to a Tr of 1000 K. G.L. Hovis et al. / Chemical Geology 213 (2004) 173186 180 This line was defined as: H soln,ideal (kJ/mol)= 142.20+44.23X Na extending from the calorimetric data for pure silica (142.2 kJ/mol, the average of 12 measurements made on three SiO 2 samples) to the result for the 33.3 mol% Na 2 O composition (taken to be 156.9 kJ/mol, a value that lies along a line connecting calorimetric data for 30 and 35 mol% Na 2 O glasses). The resulting positive values of H ex are compositionally asymmetric, displaying a maximum value of about 4 kJ/mol (Fig. 3) at 10 mol% Na 2 O. A fourth-order polynomial fitted to H ex values for samples with compositions from 0 through 35 mol% Na 2 O, and constrained to have H ex equal zero for the 0 and 33.3 mol% Na 2 O endmembers, is given by: H ex kJ=mol 89:334X Na 770:4X 2 Na 2454:7X 3 Na 2842:5X 4 Na 3 Alternative bstandardQ formalisms may be used to describe excess enthalpies or free energies, the simplest being a compositionally symmetric regular solution model having only one Margules (or interaction) adjustable parameter. In light of the pronounced asymmetry of the calorimetric data (Fig. 2), however, this formalism is clearly inappro- priate in the present case. Still, the compositional axis may be altered through choice of endmembers selected to make the data symmetric with respect to composition (a technique employed by Haller et al., 1974); in such a case a regular solution model may be applied. Fig. 4 shows such fits that pair a Na 2 SiO 3 endmember with silica endmembers having stoichiometries of SiO 2 /0.5 and SiO 2 /0.45. The effects of these choices will be discussed below in connection with solvus calculations. Whatever model is used for H ex , it should be noted that the calculated enthalpies of mixing in this system are independent of temperature, as there is no excess heat capacity in the system for compositions between 0 and 50 mol% Na 2 O. This is evidenced by the fact that the heat capacities (Cp) of sodium silicate liquids, measured over temperature intervals that could reach 900 K, extrapolate linearly to the heat capacity value of pure SiO 2 liquid (Richet et al., 1984). This also implies that the partial molar heat capacity of 81.37 J/ mol K measured for SiO 2 liquid is valid over a Fig. 4. Enthalpies of mixing relative to the line of ideal mixing in Fig. 2 as discussed in the text. The solid curve is a fourth-order fit to the H ex values as described in the text and expressed by Eq. (3). The dotted curve represents Eq. (4) using the SiO 2 /(0.50) model discussed in the text, and the dashed curve represents Eq. (5) for the SiO 2 /(0.45) model. G.L. Hovis et al. / Chemical Geology 213 (2004) 173186 181 temperature range much wider than that actually investigated in the liquid state by Richet et al. (1982). 4.3. The origin of heats of mixing between 0 and 33 mol% Na 2 O The microscopic basis for immiscibility in binary silicates has long been the subject of debate in the literature (e.g. Levin, 1967). One of the most convincing arguments is an electrostatic origin due to coulombic repulsion of cations that are poorly shielded from each other (McGahay and Tomozawa, 1989; Hess, 1995; Hudon and Baker, 2002a,b). As discussed by McGahay and Tomozawa (1989) this phenomenon lends itself to predictions of the critical temperature of miscibility gaps in a number of binary silicate systems containing cations of variable charge and radius. Hess (1995) suggested that such repulsion occurs because bridging oxygens, which are necessa- rily used to coordinate Na in the melt at low concentrations of Na, provide insufficient electrostatic shielding. Conversely, non-bridging oxygens would provide much more efficient shielding, thus explain- ing why melts richer in Na are more stable. The same argument may be used to explain the asymmetry of the observed heats of mixing. 5. Solvus calculations from thermodynamic data 5.1. Generalities From a thermodynamic point of view equilibrium liquidliquid immiscibility can occur only if the compositional dependence of the Gibbs free energy for the liquid is such that the free energy of a mechanical mixture of two different liquids is lower than that of a single liquid of identical bulk compo- sition. Therefore, assessment of the existence of immiscibility and calculation of the solvus requires a mathematical expression for the excess Gibbs free energy ( G ex ) that in turn is associated with expressions for the excess enthalpies and entropies of mixing. 5.2. Choices for enthalpies and entropies of mixing Enthalpies of mixing will be considered relative to 0 and 33.3 mol% Na 2 O endmembers (Eq. (3)), using the fourth order polynomial presented above, as well as the SiO 2 /(0.50) and SiO 2 /(0.45) models discussed above. In the case of the latter two fits to the data, variation of the enthalpy of mixing may be described by the following fourth order polynomials: H ex 0:5 kJ=mol 72:342X Na 526:13X 2 Na 1408:8X 3 Na 1446:0X 4 Na 4 and H ex 0:45 kJ=mol 80:172X Na 627:54X 2 Na 1807:9X 3 Na 1942:9X 4 Na 5 both of which are shown in Fig. 3. For the entropies of mixing, the simplest model is to assume ideal mixing of the same endmember components as defined for the enthalpy data such that S mix R4 xlnx 1 x ln 1 x 6 where R is the gas constant and x=3*(1X SiO 2 ). In this case the entropies of mixing are positive and symmetric between SiO 2 and Na 0.66 Si 0.66 O 1.66 , reaching a max- imum value of 5.8 J/mol K. This choice of functional form is somewhat arbitrary, but we may assess its validity by comparing these theoretical values with those estimated within the framework of the Adam and Gibbs theory (Richet, 1984). Configurational entropies of sodium silicate liquids at the glass transition have been calculated in this way by Toplis (2001) using viscosity measurements of Knoche et al. (1994). Here those data have been complemented with values determined from the viscosity data of Poole (1948), which cover a wider temperature range than those of Knoche et al. (1994) and, in particular, reach viscosities greater than 10 12 Pa s, thus maximizing the precision of calculated values of entropy at the glass transition. Comparison with the values derived from the viscos- ities of Knoche et al. (1994) shows excellent general agreement, with the exception of data at 40 mol% Na 2 O. The origin of this discrepancy is unknown, but we note that this has no bearing on consideration of values in the range 033 mol% Na 2 O of interest here. The only other discrepancy is at 20 mol% Na 2 O, where G.L. Hovis et al. / Chemical Geology 213 (2004) 173186 182 one measurement of Knoche et al. (1994) is at odds with the data of Poole (1948) and Sipp and Richet (2002). This has the consequence that at this compo- sition the calculated value of entropy at the glass transition changes from 4.5 to 6.2 J/mol K. All values of entropy at the glass transition temperature were then adjusted to a common temperature of 1000 K, shown in Fig. 5, using the appropriate liquid heat capacities. Once adjusted to 1000 K the excess configurational entropies (Fig. 6) were defined as the difference between the calcu- lated values and a linear base-line connecting data at 0 and 33.3 mol% Na 2 O. Note that, as for excess enthalpy discussed above, the choice of reference temperature has no effect on calculated values of excess entropy. When these values are compared with the form of Eq. (6) (Fig. 6), there is general agreement with positive entropies of mixing of the correct order of magnitude. In detail, the agreement with the theoretical form is not perfect, but the values of excess entropy derived from viscosity data have large uncertainties due not only to entropies of intermediate compositions that have uncertainties on the order of 0.75 J/mol K, but to endmember compositions that have uncertainties of the same order of magnitude. An additional point of note is that viscosity and heat capacity measurements on liquids at 15 mol% Na 2 O have been interpreted to suggest that liquidliquid unmixing occurs on the (relatively long) timescale of those measurements (Jarry and Richet, 2001). If this is also the case during the measurements of Poole (1948) and Knoche et al. (1994), then the configurational entropy derived from those determinations may be compromised. In the absence of a theoretically more justifiable functional form to describe the entropy of mixing, it is assumed that Eq. (6) is a reasonable model for entropies in this system. As an aside, we note that the rapidly quenched samples at both 10 and 15 mol% Na 2 O used for the calorimetric measurements presented here were clear and transparent, and that there is no reason to suspect that our enthalpy determinations are affected by immiscibility. 5.3. Calculation of the solvus The SiO 2 Na 2 O liquidliquid solvus has been calculated from the ideal entropies of mixing Fig. 5. Calculated configurational entropies discussed in the text. Data are based on the work of Poole (1948) (partially filled squares), Richet (1984) (squares with Xs), and Knoche et al. (1994) (open circles). G.L. Hovis et al. / Chemical Geology 213 (2004) 173186 183 between Q 4 and Q 3 species represented by Eq. (6) used in conjunction with each of Eqs. (3)(5) for the enthalpies of mixing. In detail, the critical temperature (T c ) and critical composition (X c ) of the solvus can be determined for each set of G ex by finding the lowest temperature for which the second derivative of G ex equals zero at a single composition. At temperatures above T c , the second derivative of G ex is positive (no immiscibility), whereas at temperatures below T c pairs of coexisting compositions satisfy the condition that Fig. 6.

Calculated liquidliquid solvi for the SiO 2 Na 2 O system based on various models discussed in the text along with the directly measured data of Haller et al. (1974). G.L. Hovis et al. / Chemical Geology 213 (2004) 173186 184 B 2 G ex /B 2 x=0 (a series of coordinates which define the spinodal). The solvus has been located at each temperature by finding the coexisting compositions that have identical chemical potentials of SiO 2 , defined as the extrapolation to pure SiO 2 of the local tangent to the G ex curve. Despite the similarity of the three equations for excess enthalpy, the critical compositions and temperatures of the solvus vary from 10.2 mol% Na 2 O at 993 K [using H ex (0.5)] to 6.3 mol% Na 2 O at 1166 K [using H ex (4th order)]. The various calculated solvi are shown in Fig. 7. To illustrate further the sensitivity of the solvus calcu- lations, we have calculated the variation of the critical temperature in response to multiplying values of H ex by F10% around their original values (Fig. 8). This shows that for each of the three equations for H ex a 1% change in H ex results in a change of calculated critical temperature on the order of 10K. In view of this sensitivity, one can appreciate that our calculated solvi for the SiO 2 Na 2 O system are not far from the experimentally determined solvus of Haller et al. (1974), which has a critical temperature of 837 8C (1110 K) and a critical composition of 8 mol% Na 2 O (Fig. 7). Indeed, one can generate a good match of modeled and experimental data by using the H ex (0.45) model discussed above, adjusted by just 4.2% (i.e. H ex multiplied by a constant value of 1.042; see Fig. 7). 6. Conclusions Our calorimetric data on sodium silicate glasses provide clear evidence for positive enthalpies of mixing in the liquid state for the compositional range between 0 and 33.3 mol% Na 2 O. When combined with estimates of entropy based upon ideal mixing of Q 4 and Q 3 species in the liquid we calculate the presence of a miscibility gap in this system. Values of the critical temperature and composition at the crest of the solvus are shown to be very sensitive to small variations in H ex , but despite this sensitivity, the critical temperature and shape of the experimen- tally determined solvus (Haller et al., 1974) are perfectly consistent with our measurements. This demonstrates a high degree of compatibility among the data for entropy, enthalpy, and phase equilibrium and also confirms the requirement of positive enthalpies of mixing for liquid immiscibility in the SiO 2 Na 2 O system.
