Viscosity, density, electrical and thermal conductivity, ultrasonic wave velocities, surface tension, and vesiculation rates were measured directly; these data have been used to calculate values for thermal expansion, compressibility, ultrasonic wave attenuation, and activation-energy coefficients.
