Abstract

A thermodynamic study of the equilibrium phase assemblage AgBi 3S 5-Bi 2S 3-S was made by an EMF-technique, using the RbAg 4I 5 solid electrolyte. The ternary phase was synthesized from the pure Ag 2S and Bi 2S 3 in an evacuated silica ampoule and grinded into powder and mixed with appropriate compositions of Bi 2S 3 and S, in a series of experiments, for pressing in to pellets. The pellets were assembled to form the galvanic cells Pt (-) | Ag | RbAg 4I 5 | AgBi 3S 5+ Bi 2S 3 + S + (C) | Pt (+). The EMF-measurements were made in the temperature range 299-460 K. In this paper, thermodynamic functions of the ternary phase AgBi 3S 5 (pavonite) have been determined. The agreement between the obtained results and the literature values were established.
