Enthalpies of formation of low albite (NaAlSi/sub 3/O/sub 8/), gibbsite (Al(OH)/sub 3/), and NaAlO/sub 2/; revised values for. delta. H/sub f 298//sup 0/ and. delta. G/sub f 298//sup 0/ of some aluminosilicate minerals
The enthalpies of formation from the elements DELTA H/sup 0//sub t/, of low albite, analbite, NaAlSi/sub 3/O/sub 8/ glass, gibbsite (Al(OH)/sub 3/), and NaAlO/sub 2/, were determined by hydrofluoric acid solution calorimetry from measurements of the heats of solution, DELTA H/sub soln/ of low albite, NaAlO/sub 2/, SiO/sub 2/ Al(OH)/sub 3/, Al, H/sub 2/O, NaCl, and HCl . 12.731H/sub 2/O in 20.1 weight percent HF(aq) at temperatures between 303.15 and 348.15 K. At 298.15 K the enthalpies of formation, DELTA H/sup 0//sub f,298/, for low albite, analybite, NaAlSi/sub 3/O/sub 8/ glass, gibbsite (Al(OH)/sub 3/), and NaAlO/sub 2/ are -3,935,115 +- 3415, -3,924,235 +- 3640, -3,875,455 +- 3700, +-1,293,130 +- 1190, and 1,135,990 +- 1255 J mol/sup -1/, respectively. Our values for the enthalpies of formation of low albite, analbite, and for NaAlSi/sub 3/O/sub 8/ glass are approximately 13,810 J mol/sup -1/ more negative than the values calculated by D. R. Waldbaum in 1968. Our value for the enthalpy of formation of gibbsite at 298.15 K is 11,234 J more negative than the value of R. Barany and K. K. Kelley obtained in 1961. The standard Gibbs free energies of formation DELTA g/sup 0//sub g,298/ for low albite, analbite, and gibbsite calculated from the above enthalpies and the appropriate entropy data are -3,711,715 +- 3435, -3,706,500 +- 3660, and -1,154,890 +- 1200 J mol/sup -1/, respectively. The enthalpy of solution of Standard Reference Material 1654, ..cap alpha..-quartz (37 to 74 ..mu..m), in 20.1 wt % HF(aq) is -137,737 +- 209 J mol/sup -1/ at 333.15 K. This value is approximately 1255 J less negative than the value obtained by King in 1951 and 1952 for material that has a mean particle diameter of less than 5 ..mu..m and that has been used by the U.S. Bureau of Mines in their determinations of the enthalpies of formation of many silicates. Revised values of the enthalpies and Gibbs free energies of formation are presented for some aluminosilicate minerals, based upon this new data for DELTA H/sup 0//sub f,298/ of gibbsite and the heat of solution of ..cap alpha..-quartz.
