Abstract

The heat capacities of talc, Mg3Si4O10(OH)2, and tremolite, Ca2Mg6Si8O22(OH)2, have been measured between 12 and 305°K. Smoothed values of heat capacity, entropy, enthalpy, and free energy are tabulated. At 298.15° K. the values of the thermodynamic functions are: talc, Cp°= 76.89 ± 0.23 cal. deg.-1 mole-1, S° = 62.33 ± 0.19 cal. deg.-1 mole-1, H° - H0° = 11,206 ± 34 cal. mole-1; tremolite, Cp° = 156.7 ± 0.6 cal. deg.-1 mole-1, S° = 131.2 ± 0.5 cal. deg.-1 mole-1, H° - H0° = 23,335 ± 90 cal. mole-1. From the equilibrium data of Bowen and Tuttle and the entropy of talc, the heat of formation of talc from MgO, SiO2, and H2O (liq.) is calculated to be ΔH°f298 = -43.6 ± 1 kcal.
