Abstract
The thermodynamics of H(2) solution and hydride formation/decomposition have been determined by reaction calorimetry (303 K) for disordered face centered cubic (fcc) Pd-Mn alloys. This alloy system belongs to the expanded lattice category which predicts that and DeltaH(plat) for H(2) absorption should be more exothermic than those for Pd; the experimental results are that the former is more exothermic, at least at the higher Mn contents, but the latter is not. There is a regular decrease in the H capacity (at p(H)2 = 0.2 MPa) with atom fraction Mn. A linear dependence of log p(H)2 upon H content is found in the single hydride phase for all of these alloys suggesting that DeltaH(H) and DeltaS(H) are also linear functions of r in this region. This is confirmed using the Pd(0.875)Mn(0.125) alloy which has no two-phase region (303 K). It is shown for the Pd(0.875)Mn(0.125) alloy and for Pd that the changes of partial enthalpies and entropies with H content are correlated so as to minimize changes of mu(H).
