Heat Capacity and Thermodynamic Properties of LaBr3 at 300 – 1100 K

The heat capacity of solid and liquid LaBr was measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range 300 - 1100 K. The obtained results were fitted by a polynomial temperature dependence. The enthalpy of fusion of LaBr was also measured. By combination of these results with the literature data on the entropy, S (LaBr , s, 298.15 K) and the standard molar enthalpy of formation, Δ (LaBr , s, 298.15 K), the thermodynamic functions of lanthanum tribromide were calculated up to 1300 K
