Abstract

Thermodynamic properties of the ternary oxide YbRhO3 were determined by using a solid-state electrochemical cell incorporating calcia-stabilized zirconia as the solid electrolyte in the temperature range from 900 to 1300 K. The standard Gibbs energy of formation of YbRhO3 from component binary oxides Yb2O3 with C-rare earth type structure and Rh2O3 with orthorhombic structure can be represented by the equation,Standard enthalpy of formation of YbRhO3 from elements in their normal standard states is -1153.18(+/- 3) kJ/mol and its standard entropy is 100.93(+/- 0.6) J/K/mol at 298.15 K. The decomposition temperature of YbRhO3 is 1671(+/- 3) K in pure oxygen, 1566(+/- 3) K in air and 1047(+/- 3) K at an oxygen partial pressure of , where P-o = 0.1 MPa is the standard pressure. Decomposition temperature was confirmed by DTA/TGA. Phase diagrams for the system Yb-Rh-O are computed using the thermodynamic data.
