Description

The equilibrium-constants of the following gaseous reactions are calculated: B2O3=BO+BO2 (1); 2B2O3=B2O2+2BO2 (2). Proceeding from enthalpy of reaction (1) and (2) and literature data on enthalpies of B2O3, B2O2 and BO formation found is the formation enthalpy of BOsub(2):ΔHsub(f,0)sup(0)(BOsub(2,GITA), which is equal to -74+-2 kcl/mol. The value of reaction (1) enthalpy has been used to specify the ionization potential (IP) values and values of atomization energy D0(BO3). The following values are obtained: IP(BO)=13.8+-0.3 eV, IP(BO2)=13.0+-0.4 eV, Dsub(0)(BOsub(a))=507.7+-8 kcal/mol
