Thermodynamic properties of vapor complex Na_2ZrCl_6

Thermodynamic studies were carried out for the vapor complex of sodium chloride with zirconium tetrachloride at 718-778 K and 0.5-2.5 kPa by using high temperature phase equilibrium-quenching experiments, taking closed Pyrex glass ampoules as the reaction containers. The results show that the sole predominant vapor complex is Na_2ZrCl_6 for the ZrCl4-NaCl system under the experimental conditions. The thermodynamic equilibrium constants and other thermodynamic functions of the reaction 2NaCl(s)+ZrCl4(g)=Na_2ZrCl_6(g) have been derived from the measurements. The results for the changes in enthalpy and entropy are △H0=(-70.1±1.5) kJ/mol and △S0=(-105.9±2.0) J/(mol·K) in the temperature range.
