Tetraethoxysilane, Si(Oc2H5)(4) - Vapor-Pressure Measurements at Temperatures from 323 to 442 K by Means of a Bourdon Spoon Gauge
The vapour pressure of tetraethoxysilane, Si(OC2H5)(4)(s,1), has been measured from 323 to 442 K and can be presented by the equation log(p/Pa) = 37.5498 - 3940.10/(T/K) - 8.92951 . log (T/K). The boiling point derived from this equation is 441.3 K. The enthalpy of vaporization, Delta(vap)H(m)(o)(298.15 K), obtained by second- and third-law evaluation is -53.93 kJ . mol-1 and - 52.33 kJ . mol(-1), respectively. The result has been compared with literature data and the value, Delta(vap)H(m)(o)(298.15 K) = (52.0 +/- 2.0) kj . mol(-1), is recommended for the enthalpy of vaporization of tetraethoxysilane. Combining this value with the enthalpy of formation of liquid tetrathoxysilane results in Delta(f)H(m)(o)(Si(OC2H5)(4), g, 298.15 K) = -(1356.0 +/- 6.0) kJ . mol(-1).
