%X The Hammett acidity function has been evaluated by means of spectrophotometric measurements with thymol blue indicator for (1-x)(ZnCl2,RH2O)+x(LiCl,RH2O) pseudobinary mixtures where R is 4 and 6. The pseudobinary mixtures have well defined minimum acidity near the composition (x = 0.67) which corresponds to the tetrachlorozincate ion stoichiometry. The acidity data for these mixtures support the conclusion that the properties of mixtures with R &#8804; 6 are dominated by formation of tetrachlorozincate anions.
