ABSTRACTEnthalpies of formation of the perovskite-related oxides, La1.85 Sr0.15CuO4, YBa2Cu3Oy, with y = 6.93, 6.69, and 6.47 have been determined at 298.15 K by perchloric acid solution calorimetry. Enthalpies of formation and free energies of reactions with H2 O(g) and CO2 (g) have been evaluated. The partial molar enthalpy of solution of oxygen in YBa2 Cu3Oy has been determined and compared with values derived from measurements or the equilibrium partial vapor pressures of oxygen. The significance of the defect state thermochemistry in conductivity is identified.

This paper reports electromotive force measurements of the cells[Formula: see text]and[Formula: see text]in mixed solvents of urea, mole fraction x = 0.05, at five temperatures from 278.15 to 318.15 K. The standard potentials of Ag–AgCl electrode in mixed solvents were obtained from the emf of cell (A) for HCl of molality mA from 0.02 to 0.11 mol kg−1, both by extrapolation on the basis of an extended Debye–Hückel equation and by a polynomial approach proposed in this paper on the basis of Pitzer's electrolytic solution theory. The standard free energies of transfer for HCl are discussed. The activity coefficients of HClγA in HCl + NaCl + urea + water have also been obtained from the emf of cell (B) at constant total ionic strength I = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mol kg−1. The experimental results show that HCl obeys Harned's rule and log γA is a linear function of absolute temperature T. They also indicate that the relative partial molar enthalpy of HCl obeys a similar Harned's rule.
