Calorimetric study of alkali-metal decamolybdates

Abstract

The enthalpies of formation of the alkali-metal decamolybdates (A₂O)_x/2·10MoO₃·nH₂O (A=Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) have been determined by solution calorimetry; relations between the thermodynamic quantities obtained, chemical composition and crystal structures are discussed.
