Abstract
A formalism for correlating relative Raman band intensities with the stoichiometric coefficients, the equilibrium constant, and the thermodynamics of reaction equilibria in solution is derived. The proposed method is used for studying: (1) the thermal dissociation of molten KHSO(4) in the temperature range 240-450 degrees C; (2) the dinuclear complex formation in molten TaCl(5)-AlCl(3) mixtures at temperatures between 125 and 235 degrees C. The experimental and calculational procedures for exploiting the temperature-dependent Raman band intensities in the molten phase as well as (if applicable) in the vapors thereof are described and used for determining the enthalpy of the equilibria: (1) 2HSO(4)(-)(l) <--> S(2)O(7)(2-)(l) + H(2)O(g), DeltaH(0)=64.9 +/- 2.9 kJ mol(-1); and (2) 1/2Ta(2)Cl(10)(l) + 1/2Al(2)Cl(6)(l) <--> TaAlCl(8)(l), DeltaH(0)=-12.1 +/- 1.5 kJ mol(-1).
