Thermodynamic properties of tetraphenylphosphonium perchlorate and tetraphenylarsonium perchlorate fromT → 0 toT = 340 K

The temperature dependence of the standard molar heat capacity C_{p, m}^oof samples of crystalline tetraphenylphosphonium perchlorate and tetraphenylarsonium perchlorate was measured in an adiabatic low-pressure calorimeter between T =  4.8 K and T =  340 K and from T =  5.8 K to T =  340 K, respectively, mostly to within a precision of 0.2 per cent. For tetraphenylphosphonium perchlorate, an anomalous change of the heat capacity in the range T =  125 K to T =  185 K, probably arising from the excitation of hindered rotations of atomic groups, was found and its thermodynamic characteristics were determined. No such anomaly was observed for tetraphenylarsonium perchlorate. The data obtained were used to calculate the thermodynamic functions C_{p, m}^o(T) / R, Δ₀^TH_m^o / R·K, Δ₀^TS_m^o / R, and Φ_m^o = Δ₀^TS_m^o − Δ₀^TH_m^o / T(where R is the universal gas constant) of the compounds between T →  0 and T =  340 K.     

Thermodynamic properties of carbynoid structures in the 0—340 K range

The temperature dependences of the heat capacity (C _p°) of carbynoid structures prepared by alkaline dehydrochlorination of poly(vinylidene chloride) and 1,1,2- and 1,2,3-polytrichlorobutadienes were studied by adiabatic vacuum calorimetry between 5 and 340 K with an accuracy of 0.2%.

Near critical measurements of HmEandVmE for { xCO2 + (1 − x)SF6} and measurements made over the pressure range 2.5 to 10.0 MPa at the temperature T = 301.95 K

A flow mixing calorimeter, followed by a vibrating tube densimeter, has been used to measure excess molar enthalpies H_m^Eand excess molar volumesV_m^E of {xCO₂ +  (1  − x)SF₆}. Measurements over a range of mole fraction x have been made at the temperatures T =  302.15 K and T =  305.65 K at the pressures (3.76, 5.20, 6.20, and 7.38) MPa. The lowest pressure 3.76 MPa is close to thecritical pressure of SF₆ and the highest pressure 7.38 MPa is close to the critical pressure of CO ₂. Measurements atx =  0.5 have been made over the pressure range (2.5 to 10.0) MPa at the temperature 301.95 K. Some of the measurements are very close to the critical locus of the mixture. The measurements are compared with the Patel–Teja equation of state which reproduces the main features of the excess function curves as well as it does for similar measurements on {xCO₂ +  (1  − x)C₂H₆} and{xCO₂ +  (1  − x)C₂H₄} . The equation was used to calculate residual enthalpies and residual volumes for the pure components and for the mixture, and inspection of the way these combine to give excess enthalpies and volumes assisted the interpretation of the pressure scan measurements.

Thermodynamic properties of schapbachite (α-AgBiS₂) in the phase assemblage α-AgBiS₂–AgBi₃S₅–Bi have been studied by an EMF-technique. The EMF-measurements were made on the galvanic cell Pt(−)|Ag|AgI|AgBiS₂ + AgBi₃S₅ + Bi|C|Pt(+), over the temperature range from (429 to 699) K. According to the EMF vs. temperature relations obtained, the enthalpy of the phase transformation from β-AgBi_1+xS₂ to α-AgBi_1+xS₂, at T = (465.55 ± 5) K, was calculated to be (7.3 ± 2.1) kJ · mol⁻¹. New experimentally determined thermodynamic properties of the bismuth-saturated schapbachite (α-AgBi_1+xS₂), for each temperature region of the stable phases Bi(s) and Bi(l), were generated and analysed in detail. Based on the experimental results, Gibbs free energies of sulfidation reactions including Ag, Bi(l), S₂(g), Ag₂S and Bi₂S₃ to produce the bismuth-saturated schapbachite (α-AgBi_1+xS₂) have been evaluated. It has been observed that within the temperature range from (474 to 680) K, schapbachite saturated with bismuth (α-AgBi_1+xS₂) is thermodynamically more stable than the stoichiometric schapbachite (α-AgBiS₂).
