Abstract:
The temperature dependence of the heat of hydration of natrolite was studied by isothermal adsorption calorimetry
from 412 to 472 K. The heat capacity of hydration implied by these results is about 5 times greater than the calorimetric
heat capacity of reaction, suggesting atypical behavior across this solid solution.
