Abstract
Pressure against composition isotherms have been determined for the α-phase of the palladium/hydrogen system in the temperature range 372–724 K, by direct equilibration with gaseous hydrogen. The partial molar enthalpy and partial molar entropy of solution of hydrogen in palladium have been derived as a function of composition. The values obtained at 600 K are, respectively, –15.56 kJ (mol H2)–1, and –96.5 JK–1(mol H2)–1.
