Abstract

The kinematic viscosity of molten LaCl₃, CeCl₃, PrCl₃, NdCl₃, and SmCl₃ was measured directly by using a capillary viscometer made of quartz and a transparent electric furnace. Viscosity of molten PmCl₃ and EuCl₃ was estimated using common tendencies in the lanthanides row. The dynamic viscosity was computed by using the most reliable density data taken from literature. The viscosity of molten lanthanides trichlorides at the same temperature changes slightly within a cerium lanthanides subgroup. Molten EuCl3 perhaps has abnormally low viscosity.
