Abstract: | The heats of combustion at 25 °C of trimethylborane (liquid), triethylborane (liquid), and tri-n-butylborane (liquid), to form crystalline boric acid, liquid water, and gaseous carbon dioxide have been determined to be −2989.4 ±22.4 kj/mole (−714.48 ±5.36 kcal/mole), −4975.6 ±15.1 kj/mole (−1189.2 ±3.6 kcal/mole), and −8901.0 ±10.2 kj/mole (−2127.4 ±2.4 kcal/mole), respectively. These data, combined with the heats of formation of boric acid, carbon dioxide, and water give −34.79 ±5.40, −47.2 ±3.7, and −83.2 ±2.5 kcal/mole at 25 °C for the standard heats of formation of trimethylborane, triethylborane, and tri-n-butylborane, respectively. The data of other investigators are discussed briefly. |
