Cesium chromate, Cs2CrO4: high-temperature enthalpy increments and other thermodynamic properties

Abstract High-temperature enthalpy increments and derived heat capacities are reported for Cs 2 CrO 4 . There is a solid-to-solid transition at (1031 ± 3) K and the melting temperature is (1236 ± 5) K. The enthalpies of transition and fusion are (2.9 ± 0.6) and (35.3 ± 0.7) kJ mol −1 , respectively, and the entropies of transition and fusion are (2.8 ± 0.6) and (28.6 ± 0.5) J K −1 mol −1 , respectively. Results obtained in this study are combined with other recent data to produce a table of the thermodynamic functions of Cs 2 CrO 4 to 1500 K.
