Thermodynamic Characteristics of a Series of Antimony Compounds: Standard Formation Enthalpy of Antimony Oxychloride SbOCl

The present work opens a series of publications devoted to the description of the results of determination or clarification of the formation enthalpies of certain antimony compounds that are of significant applied interest to science and technology. The measurement results of enthalpy of interaction crystalline SbCl3 and water with formation of crystalline SbOCl are given. On the basis of the obtained and literature data, the value of standard formation enthalpy of the product of this interaction --- antimony oxychloride SbOCl at temperature 298.15 K is calculated. This value coincided with the reference values within the margin of error. An attempt was made to determine the dissolution enthalpy of SbCl3 in a two-molar aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid: the obtained approximate value of this characteristic was --30 ± 2 kJ/mol
