The thermodynamic properties of Zn 8 La were investigated by calorimetry. The standard entropy of formation at 298 K, Á f S 298 , was determined from measuring the heat capacities, C p , from near absolute zero (2 K) to 300 K by the relaxation method.
The standard Gibbs energy of formation, Á f G o T , of Mg 3 La in the temperature range from near absolute zero Kelvin to 525 K were determined by calorimetry. The heat capacities, C p , from 2 K to 525 K were measured by the relaxation method and DSC. The Á f G o T (Mg 3 La) values were determined by combining the C p data with the standard enthalpy of formation at 298 K which was measured by the Calvet-type calorimeter using hydrochloric acid solution. From 2 to 350 K, the Á f G o T increases gradually, and it can be evaluated as a linear function of temperature above 350 K as follows:This result is expected to be useful as basic thermodynamic data of Mg-based alloys.
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.
