Thermodynamic Properties of Bimetallic Compounds
Abstract
It was shown that the determination of the heat of formation of aluminum dodecaboride by solution calorimetry was not feasible. The method which would most likely be successful in studying the compound is that of fluorine combustion. An apparatus was constructed to handle fluorine and proceed with the combustion of the materials under investigation in a fluorine atmosphere. The combustion calorimeter has been calibrated and is ready for the combustion experiments. The solution calorimeter has been successfully employed in determining the heat of formation of lithium aluminum hydride, -26.63 = 0.31 Kcal/mole. The operation of the solution calorimeter at elevated temperatures (75 deg C) was necessary to measure the heat of reaction of aluminum hydride with hydrochloric acid.
