Abstract
Bismuth tungstates have attracted lot of attention due to their excellent intrinsic properties, such as ferroelectric-piezoelectricity, catalytic behavior, nonlinear dielectric susceptibility and photo catalytic activity. Thermodynamics plays an important role in predicting long term stability of these materials under different reactive conditions. The present paper describes determination of standard molar enthalpies of formation of Bi2WO6(s) and Bi2W2O9(s) compounds employing a high temperature solution calorimeter. The reaction enthalpies of Bi2O3(s), WO3(s), Bi2WO6(s) and Bi2W2O9(s) in liquid Na2O+MoO3 solvent (3:4M ratios) at 983K were measured using a Calvet Calorimeter. The standard molar enthalpy of formation of the compounds at 298K (ΔfH°298) were calculated by combining the experimentally determined values of the reaction enthalpies with the auxiliary data from the literature. The values of ΔfH°298 of Bi2WO6(s) and Bi2W2O9(s) at 298K were found to be −(1426.0±7.9)kJ·mol−1 and −(2379.7±6.8)kJ·mol-1, respectively.
