Abstract
Thermodynamic properties of shosanbetsuite (Ag3Sn) are first determined in the Ag–Sn system in a galvanic cell (–) Pt | Gr | Ag | RbAg4I5 | Ag3Sn, Sn | Gr | Pt (+) within the temperature range of 327–427 K in vacuum. Analysis of the data makes it possible to calculate the standard (298.15 K, 105 Pa) ΔfG0, ΔfH0, and S0 of Ag3Sn: –21238, –18763 J mol–1, and 187.5 J K–1 mol–1, respectively.
