Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyse several physicochemical properties (practically all equilibrium properties) for alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs) from the corresponding states principle along the liquid-vapour coexistence line. Selecting the best experimental data, we plot the reduced quantities versus reduced temperature. In all cases, the behaviour of these substances is well correlated. For K, Rb and Cs, a common line adequately represents such behaviour. From the results, we conclude the validity of this principle in the context.
