Abstract
We have made calorimetric measurements of the enthalpies of solution of gibbsite, Al(OH)3(cr), in aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions at five temperatures from 100 to 150 °C. Results of these measurements have been used to obtain the standard enthalpies of formation of Na+(aq) + Al(OH)4−(aq) at the experimental temperatures. These results have also led to values of ΔCp0 for the reaction represented concisely by Al(OH)3(cr) + OH−(aq) = Al(OH)4−(aq), from which we have obtained standard state partial molar heat capacities of Na+(aq) + Al(OH)4−(aq). Combination of our results with those from earlier investigations has permitted calculation of thermodynamic properties of Na+(aq) + Al(OH)4−(aq) over a wide range of temperature and thence some generalizations about the usefulness of various equations for representing or predicting these thermodynamic properties. Key words: gibbsite, enthalpy of solution; sodium aluminate (aqueous), thermodynamic properties; heat capacities, Na+(aq) + Al(OH)4−(aq).Keywords
