CrO2‐Cr2O3 Phase Boundary Under High O2 Pressures

Abstract
The phase boundary between CrO2 and Cr2O3 was reinvestigated under high O2 pressures by using a new type of gas compressor. The boundary curve can be represented as log Po2= 7.16‐(3579/T). Using the observed data, ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS° for the reaction 2CrO2⇋Cr2O3+½O2 were calculated to be: ΔG°= ‐(1.55/100)T+7.60 kcal/mol, ΔH°= ‐8.19 kcal/mol, and ΔS°= (‐15.8/T)+0.0155 kcal/mol.
