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).

A family of lanthanide silicates adopts an oxyapatitelike structure with structural formula Ln9.33 0.67(SiO4)6O2 (Ln = La, Sm, Nd, Gd,   = vacancy). The enthalpies of solution, ΔHS, for these materials and their corresponding binary oxides were determined by high-temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry using molten 2PbO B2O3 at 1078 K. These data were used to complete thermodynamic cycles to calculate enthalpies of formation from the oxides, ΔH0 f-oxides (kJ/mol): La9.33 0.67(SiO4)6O2 = 776.3 ± 17.9, Nd9.33 0.67(SiO4)6O2 = 760.4 ± 31.9, Sm9.33 0.67(SiO4)6O2 = 590.3 ± 18.6, and Gd9.33 0.67(SiO4)6O2 = 446.9 ± 21.9. Reference data were used to calculate the standard enthalpies of formation from the elements, ΔH0 f (kJ/mol): La9.33 0.67(SiO4)6O2 = 14611.0 ± 19.4, Nd9.33 0.67(SiO4)6O2 = 14661.5 ± 32.2, Sm9.33 0.67(SiO4)6O2 = -14561.7 ±; 20.8, and Gd9.33 0.67(SiO4)6O2 = -14402.7 ± 28.2. The formation enthalpies become more endothermic as the ionic radius of the lanthanide ion decreases.

The thermodynamic parameters characterizing the interaction between Ca2+ and the suitably positioned sequences of hydroxyls of some sugar isomers have been determined. This was done by comparing the properties of D-ribose which bears such sequences of hydroxyls with the properties of D-arabinose chosen as an inactive reference. The enthalpies of solution and of dilution, the apparent molal heat capacities, and the apparent molal volumes of the two pentoses have been first measured in water at 25 °C. The measurement of these properties for the transfer of the sugars from water to CaCl2 solutions (and, conversely, for the transfer of CaCl2 from water to the sugar solutions) directly gives access to the Ca2+–hydroxyls pair interaction parameters. The thermodynamic properties of this reaction of association may then be estimated: [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] The analysis of these data shows that the weak association constant results from a large compensation between the favourable enthalpy and the unfavourable entropy of reaction.
