The enthalpy of scandium in the temperature range 406-1812 K was measured b
y the method of mixing on a massive calorimeter. In the temperature range o
f measurements, scandium had body-centered cubic (BCC) and hexagonal close
(HCP) packings. The enthalpy of the BCC-HCP transition was found to be Delt
aH(t) = 4068 J/mol. The results are compared with the literature data on th
e calorimetric properties of scandium.
