Abstract: The standard molar reaction enthalpy of the solid-solid coordination reaction La(NO3)3·6H2O (s) +4Ala(s) (Ala is Alanine)=La(NO3)3·(Ala)4·H2O(s) + 5H2O(1) was studied by using classical solution calorimetry.The molar dissolution enthalpies of the reactants and the product of the solid-solid coordination reaction in2 mol/L HCl were measured by using an isoperibol calorimeter.From the results and other auxiliary quantities, the standard molar formation enthalpy of [La (NO3)3·(Ala)4·H2O, s, 298.15 K] has been determined to be [La(NO3)3·(Ala)4·H2O, s, 298.15 K]=-3864.248 kJ/mol.
