Abstract
Potentiometric method was used to measure the redox potentials of Tm3+/Tm2+ in a eutectic melt of sodium, potassium, and cesium chlorides relative to a chlorine reference electrode in the temperature range 823–973 K. The main thermodynamic characteristics of the redox reaction TmCl2(solution) + 1/2Cl2(g) ⇆ TmCl3(solution) were calculate from the conditional standard potentials \( E_{{{Tm^{3 + } } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{Tm^{3 + } } {Tm^{2 + } }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {Tm^{2 + } }}}^* \).
