The partial vapour pressure of mercury over liquid Hg-Tl liquid solutions were determined in the temperature range from 450 to 700 K by direct vapour pressure measurements carried out with the quartz gauge. From the measured ln pHg vs. T relationships activities of mercury were determined. Using Redlich-Kister formulas logarithms of the activity coefficients were described with the following equations: From which all thermodynamic functions in the solutions can be derived.

Abstract. Here we explore the vapour pressure of sulphuric acid at very low relative humidity, where evaporation of sulphuric acid from particles can be important in the atmospheres of Earth and Venus. We performed experiments in the CLOUD chamber at CERN forming sulphuric acid particles via nucleation and then measuring evaporation versus temperature and relative humidity. We modelled the experiments with the ADCHAM model to constrain the thermodynamic properties governing the evaporation of sulphuric acid. ADCHAM includes a thermodynamics module coupled to an aerosol dynamics module. We derived the mole fractions and activity coefficients of H2SO4, HSO4−, SO42− and SO3 in the particles and then simulated the condensation and evaporation of H2SO4 and SO3. We constrained the equilibrium constants for the dissociation of H2SO4 to HSO4− (KH2SO4) and the dehydration of H2SO4 to SO3 (xKSO3). Our results suggest that particle shrinkage is mainly governed by H2SO4 evaporation, however, we cannot dismiss a contribution from SO3 evaporation. We conclude that KH2SO4 = 2–4 ∙ 109 mol ∙ kg−1 at 288.8 ± 5 K and xKSO3 ≥ 1.4 ∙ 1010.

The heat capacity of solid and liquid LaBr3 was measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range 300 - 1100 K. The obtained results were fitted by a polynomial temperature dependence. The enthalpy of fusion of LaBr3 was also measured. By combination of these results with the literature data on the entropy, S0m (LaBr3, s, 298.15 K) and the standard molar enthalpy of formation, ΔformH0m (LaBr3, s, 298.15 K), the thermodynamic functions of lanthanum tribromide were calculated up to 1300 K

Isopiestic vapour pressure measurements have been made on the systems H2O-NaCl-Na2SO4 and H2O-NaCl-MgSO4 at 15� and 0�. Excess free energies of mixing the aqueous salts hare been calculated for various ionic strengths, and the results have been compared with those previously obtained at 25�. ��� Within experimental uncertainty the excess free energies of mixing of aqueous NaCl with aqueous Na2SO4 are the same at 0�, 15�, and 25�. However, the excess free energy of mixing aqueous NaCl with aqueous MgSO4 shows differences which may be just larger than experimental uncertainty over the same temperature range.

The vapour pressures for the decomposition of the solid and liquid compounds AMCl6 where A = Na, K, Rb, or Cs, and M = Nb or Ta, were measured by a fused quartz Bourdon spiral pressure gauge. The hexachlorotantalates were found to be more stable thermally than the hexachloroniobates. Enthalpies of decomposition were calculated. The dissociation temperatures of each sequence of compounds increase with increasing size of the radius of the alkali-metal cation. Partial pressures of NbCl5 or TaCl5 vapour in equilibrium with solutions representing the binary Systems KCl–KNbCl6 and KCl–KTaCl6, respectively, are also reported.
