The article explores how the combination of potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate affects their melting points. The researchers conducted experiments to determine the solidus curve for these mixtures. They found that as the ratio of potassium nitrate to sodium nitrate increased, the melting point of the mixture decreased. This information can be useful for various applications involving these substances.
