Abstract

The enthalpy of formation of zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH ₃COO)₂ · 2H₂O) was measured with respect to crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO), glacial acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and liquid water by room temperature solution calorimetry. The enthalpy of formation was verified by utilizing two independent thermodynamic cycles, using enthalpy of solution measurements in 5 mol · L^-1 sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and in 5 mol · L^-1 hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutions. The enthalpy of the reaction ZnO (cr) + 2CH₃COOH (l) + H₂O (l) to form Zn(CH₃COO)₂ · 2H₂O (cr) is -(65.78 ± 0.36) kJ · mol^-1 for measurements in 5 mol · L^-1 NaOH and -(66.25 ± 0.17) kJ · mol ^-1 for measurements in 5 mol · L^-1 HCl. The standard enthalpy of formation of Zn(CH₃COO)₂ · 2H₂O from the elements is -(1669.35 ± 1.30) kJ · mol^-1. This work provides the first calorimetric measurement of the enthalpy of formation of Zn(CH₃COO)₂ · 2H ₂O.
