R. Edwards et al., THE STABILITIES OF SECONDARY TIN MINERALS .2. THE HYDROLYSIS OF TIN(II) SULFATE AND THE STABILITY OF SN3O(OH)(2)SO4, Mineralogical Magazine, 60(400), 1996, pp. 427-432
Tritin(II)dihydroxyoxosulphate, Sn3O(OH)(2)SO4, is a rare corrosion pr
oduct found on the surfaces of certain tin alloys. A new synthesis bas
ed on the hydrolysis of SnSO4 is described. The stability constant det
ermination of Sn3O(OH)(2)SO4,s, at 298.2K and 10(5)Pa is determined us
ing direct measurements via electrodes, of the activities of tin(II) a
nd sulphate ions. Delta fG(0)(298.2K) is equal to -1563.1 +/- 0.9 kJ m
ol(-1).
