Abstract
Partial pressures of the gaseous oxides MoO, MoO2, MoO3, WO, WO2, WO3, UO, UO2, and UO3 in the systems Mo–Al2O3 and U–Al2O3 have been measured by mass spectrometric methods. The vapor pressure of uranium has also been determined. The reaction enthalpies derived from these measurements are: Reaction         ΔH0ο kcal/moleMoO(g)→Mo(g)+O(g)         116±15MoO2(g)→Mo(g)+2O(g)         262±10MoO3(g)→Mo(g)+3O(g)         411±7WO(g)→W(g)+O(g)         154±10WO2(g)→W(g)+2O(g)         296±7WO3(g)→W(g)+3O(g)         443±7UO(g)→U(g)+O(g)         179±7UO2(g)→U(g)+2O(g)         340±7UO3(g)→U(g)+3O(g)         493±7U(s)→U(g)         126±5.
