Influence of complexing on temperature dependence of isobaric and isohoric heat capacities of LaCl3+NaCl and LaCl3+KCl Melts

Sinopsis

The enthalpy and the heat capacity at constant pressure of LaCl3+NaCl and LaCl3+KCl melts have been measured with Calvet-type microcalorimeter as a function of temperature and concentration. The isohoric heat capacity was calculated using the ultrasonic velocity data. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of the complexing of the melts. Keywords: melts, molten salt, heat capacity, complexing, ultrasound velocity.
