Three precise calorimetric methods, viz., low-temperature adiabatic, high-temperature drop, and solution-reaction, have been used to determine as a function of temperature the key chemical thermodynamic properties of a pure sample of schoepite, UO2(OH)2•H2O. The following results have been obtained at the standard reference temperature T = 298.15 K: standard molar enthalpy of formation [Formula: see text] molar heat capacity [Formula: see text] and the standard molar entropy [Formula: see text] The molar enthalpy increments relative to 298.15 K and the molar heat capacity are given by the polynomials: [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where 298.15 K < T < 400 K. The present result for [Formula: see text] at 298.15 K has been combined with three other closely-agreeing values from the literature to give a recommended weighted mean [Formula: see text] from which is calculated the standard Gibbs energy of formation [Formula: see text] at 298.15 K. Complete thermodynamic properties of schoepite are tabulated from 298.15 to 423.15 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
