Measurements of conductivity and diffusion constants were carried out in H2O-NaOH mixtures at NaOH mole fractions ranging from 0.02 to 0.6 (t(max) almost-equal-to 200-degrees-C). Equivalent conductance isotherms and diffusion isotherms of the TeO32- and PbO22- ions do not show any particular occurrence when the corresponding activation energy values exhibit a broad maximum at about X(NaOH) = 0.3 and a sharper maximum at X(NaOH) = 0. 5. This last composition corresponds to the NaOH.1 H2O distectic. A transition in the mechanism of conductance in molten NaOH hydrates from the proton transfer mechanism to the hydrodynamic mechanism can be suggested.
