Electrolytic experiments were performed on bismuthbismuth chloride melts, saturated with metal, between liquid bismuth electrodes. The R of the quantity of electric current passed to the quantity of bismuth transported through the melt during electrolysis was determined. This R was found to be the same as the average oxidation number for bismuth in the salt phase as calculated from the composition. A consideration of the electrode processes led to an explanation of the equality between the current R and the average oxidation number.
