Abstract
Using emf methods, partial thermodynamic values in molten have been precisely determined from 460° to 540 °C in the Mo concentration range of 0.01 to 0.4 mole/liter. At 460°C, the free energy of formation of the molybdenum (III) chloride in a 1M solution is and the corresponding entropy change is . Extrapolated to 450°C, the potential of is . There is a strong solvent cation effect due to coulombic, steric, and other contributions, and the excess free energy of in is much more negative than in .
