TY - JOUR AU - Orlova, G. P. AB - The solubility of H2O in a silicate melt of albite composition has been determined at 945 + 5°C and 1 l25 + 5°C for fluid pressures(H2O in excess)ranging between l,000 and 4,000 atm. The weight percent of H20 in the melt was found to be proportional to the square root of the fluid pressure. The constants of proportionality are 0.162 at 945°C and 0.148 at 1, 125°C, for pressure in atmospheres Loss of water, at one atmosphere pressure, was found to be endothermic and continuous between 100°C and 800°C. Indexes of refraction changed from 1.489 in the anhydrous glass to 1.492 + 0.001, in the hydrous glasses. Densities of the hydrous glasses ranged from about 2.34 g/cc at 4.4 percent H20 to 2.27 g/cc at 9.6 percent H20. Infrared absorption spectra of a hydrous glass (8% H20) indicate that H20 is present both as molecular H20 and hydroxyl ions. The data on solubility of H2O are in fair agreement with the early work of Goranson. H. R.
