Thermodynamic properties of CaTiF5(s)

Calcium titanofluoride CaTiF₅(s) was prepared by solid-state reaction of CaF₂(s) with TiF₃(s) and characterized by X-ray diffraction method. The standard molar isobaric heat capacity $(C_{p\text{,m}}^{\circ })$ of CaTiF₅(s) was determined by a power compensated differential scanning calorimeter in the temperature from 230 K to 710 K. A solid-state galvanic cell with CaF₂ as electrolyte was used to determine the standard molar Gibbs energy of formation $({\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{f}}{G}_{\text{m}}^{\circ })$ of CaTiF₅ in the temperature range from 803 K to 1005 K. The galvanic cell can be depicted as:$(-)\text{Pt,}{\text{O}}_2(\text{g,}101.325\text{kPa})/\{\text{CaO(s)}+{\text{CaF}}_2(\text{s})\}//{\text{CaF}}_2//\{{\text{CaTiF}}_5(\text{s})+{\text{CaTiO}}_3(\text{s})\}/{\text{O}}_2(\text{g,}101.325\text{kPa})\text{,Pt}(+)$The second law analysis of present data were carried out to derive the standard entropy $S_{\text{m}}^{\circ }(298.15\text{K})$ and the enthalpy of formation ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{f}}{H}_{\text{m}}^{\circ }(298.15\text{K})$ and the values derived are 68.7 J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ and −2848.4 kJ · mol⁻¹, respectively.
