Abstract Activity of β-lanthanum were determined in gallium and gallium-aluminum alloy (12 mol. % Al) at 573–1081 K and 573–999 K, respectively, using the electromotive force measurements method. Partial molar thermodynamic functions of lanthanum in the said alloys were calculated. Solubility of lanthanum in liquid gallium was measured between 368 and 1073 K and activity coefficients of β-lanthanum in liquid Ga and Ga–Al alloy calculated. Comparison of results obtained for La–Ga and La–Ga–Al alloys showed that addition of aluminum to Ga–La alloys had an insignificant influence on thermodynamic properties of lanthanum.
