Thermodynamic Properties of Minerals: Macroscopic and Microscopic Approaches

  • Chapter
Thermodynamic Data

Part of the book series: Advances in Physical Geochemistry ((PHYSICAL GEOCHE,volume 10))

Abstract

Thermodynamic modeling of experimental or natural-phase equilibria has become an integral part of petrology. In this respect, the isobaric heat capacity (C p ) has manifold importance. First, C p data constitute the basis of third-law determinations of the entropy of minerals. Second, these data are needed to calculate the variation with temperature of the entropy, the enthalpy, and the Gibbs free energy. As a result, it necessary to know accurately heat capacities when retrieving thermodynamic information from phase equilibria data, especially when trying to separate the effects of the enthalpies and entropies of transformation.
