this calculation (using DHaHco = 16 kcal/mol) are listed in Table I. Comparison with Previous Studies. Shinohara and Nishils have examined photodissociation of acrolein at 193 nm and found the average translational energy for HCO to be 10.1 kcal/mol (Tt = 3400 K). Their measurement is greater than our Pl,o(16) Doppler-broadenedtranslational energy determination by ca.60%. The reason for this discrepancy is unclear, but high electron energies (20-40 eV) and long extraction times before fragment detection (ca. 20 ps) in their experimental procedure may contribute to this discrepancy. Our direct experimental observations may be more sensitive to the molecular energy measurement. Using a CW CO laser, Lin and co-w~rkers'~ measured an average vibrational energy of 2.7 f 0.7 kcal/mol for CO from acrolein photolyzed at 193 nm. They describe a statistical model where a methylketene (CH3CH=C=O) intermediate leads to CO + CH3CH products. Their vibrational energy for CO is in reasonable agreement with our value (4.1 f 0.6 kcal/mol). Mechanism of Pbotodbociatioh The scenario presented above is in accord with the following mechanism for the photofragmentation of acrolein. After UV excitation to the S 2 ( m * ) state?3 acrolein internally converts to the highly vibrationally excited ground state. Dissociation from this state is consistent with the reactivity observed for a number of other polyatomic photofrag mentation (e.g., H2C0, NCNO, CH2C0).7-9~21 Next, the excited molecule fragments to HCO and CHzCH radicals followed by (33) Walsh, A.

where the asterisk denotes V,R,T excited-state species. V. Conclusions (1) The low-pressure photolysis of acrolein at 193 nm yields CO photofragments with the following characteristic vibrational, rotational, and translational temperatures: T, = 1650 f 310, T,(v=O) = 2750 f 280, and T,[Pl,o(16)] = 1380 f 220 K. (2) Energy disposal into formyl and vinyl radicals is compared to a statistical model that predicts equal energy partitioning to both fragments. A model with outlined that predicts CO vibrational and rotational energy distributions by averaging over the HCO internal energy distribution. (3) A two-step mechanism involving C-C bond rupture followed by secondary dissociation of HCO, in qualitative agreement with experimental observation and theory, is proposed for acrolein photodissociation. Recently, studies34on the photodissociation of propynal at 193 nm were completed. This analogue of acrolein should provide an interesting comparison to the energy disposal presently determined.

Second Law Assessment of Behavior Differences In Formation of Several Sulfur-Oxygen Compounds of Lanthanum, Cerium, and Praseodymium E.I.

Normalized experimental data for disproportionationand concomitant 12(g)oxidation of SO?-(cr) at 675-775 K in dehydrated Ce2(S03)2S04.4H20(cr),admixed with Ce02(cr) substrate, were used to evaluate chronological changes and differences in Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of formation for several product compounds. Several sequential reactions not observed previously were quantified. Intracrystal disproportionation of 2Ce2(S03)2S04(cr)by reaction with Ce02(cr) at 675-7 15 K to yield CeO(SO,)(cr) + Ce20(S04)S04(cr)+ Ce20(S203)S04(cr)was demonstrated. The labile S2032-(cr)reacted at higher T with 12(g)+ H20(g) to yield SO,"(cr) + 2HI(g) + '/2S2(g). At 605-690 K in the short time of 0.2 min, partially dehydrated La2(S03)2S04(cr)disproportionated to yield S042-(~r) + 1/2S02(g)+ '/4S2(g) that were absorbed by the La202S04(cr)substrate to yield a second solid product of 1/2La20(S203)S04(~r) by S2(g)oxidation of S02(g). At 660-800 K the only solid product of disproportionation and 12(g)oxidation and hydrolysis of dehydrated Pr2(S03)2S04-4H20(cr) was Pr20(S04)S04(cr).Formation of S2032-(~r) was not observed and was not prominent because of a better fit of SOq2in the solids to match the smallest Pr3+cation. This behavior is an effect of the lanthanide contraction. The best crystal fit of S2032-for the pair of La3"' and Ce3+seemed to be in Ce20(Sz03)S04(cr),with 02-(cr) being better accommodated in the available space.

Introduction In a recent paper some thermochemical reactions of La, Ce, and Pr sulfur-oxygen compounds in the presence of 12(g),H20(g), HI(g), S02(g). and S2(g) were quantified by a Gibbs energy matching method for the gas-phase reactivity.' In this paper the second law is utilized to evaluate several reaction pathways by Gibbs energy changes, entropy changes, and entropy of formation differences. Bridge-bonding of SO:- in the solid phase2 prevented I- solids formation. Sz032-formation was not precluded. Onstott, E. I. J . Phys. Chem. 1991, 95, 2520-2525. (2) Fahey, J. A.

Stoichiometry of Relevant Gas Reactions The temperature region of interest is 600-800 K. S2(g) and 02(g) can react to yield SO(g) that is unstable with respect to disproportionation to 1/2S02(g) I/.,S2(g). S02(g) is the most stable oxide. It is partially converted to SO3@ with e x a s O,(g). H2S(g) formation is suppressed by 12(g)when H20(g) is present. From JANAF table^,^ the AJ for SO formation at 700 K is 4.96 J K-l mol-l. For SO2formation AJ = -73.39 J K-'mol-', and for SO3 formation AJ is -167.39 J K-' mol-'. AJ for disproportionation of SO 1/2S02+ '/4S2 is -41.81 J K-l mol-l.

J K-' mol-', virtually independent of temperature. This number appears to be a crystal structure constant for the lanthanide contraction. For Ce, the A+ data in Table VI1 for T < 730 K were smaller and more variable than data for La and Pr. S203'- formation by an intracrystal mechanism was indicated for most experiments. Only two experiments at 7 15 K for the 0.603 composition gave values reasonably close to values expected for La. Enhanced product stability in the solids could account for this behavior of Ce. Decomposition eq 2A(La,0.603 Ce,Pr) shows that the preferred solid product was (RE)20(S04),(cr)by loss of I/$,(g) I/,O2(g) from the reactant. The preferred loss of gas was 1/2S0z '/4S2, the stoichiometric equivalent of SO(g) disproportionation.

A,S(cr)[product - reactant] - A,S = hs0(g)[y2S2+ y202] Comparisons of experimental solids data vs gas reference data are shown in Tables V-VII. Nearly identical values are indicated by the bracketed data pairs for the appropriate JANAF reference column. In Table V for La there are four data pairings that show the small AJ for Laz(S03)zS04(cr)formation. There is more mismatch for Pr in Table VI than there is for La in Table V, showing the larger AJ for formation of Pr2(S03)2S04(cr).The -(La) - AJ(Pr) difference for 600-800 K is -2.68 J K-'mol-' compared to the value above of -2.73 J K-' mol-' calculated directly from second law data.

Addition of 4Ce3+(cr) 2S042-(cr)(ions not changed) to eqs 3C(Ce) 3D(Ce)) gives the neutralized eq 3A(Ce). The second 675 K entry and first two 715 K entries in Table VI1 illustrate the close match of experimental vs reference data for loss of O,(g) from the SO:-(cr) reactant to yield the S2032-(cr) product as follows: Ce2(S03)2S04(cr) O,(g) Ce20(S203)S04(cr). The coproducts oxidation equation is Ce2(S03),S04(cr) + Ce02(cr) + 02(g) Ce,0(S04)S04(cr) + CeO(SO,)(cr). The sum of the 02(g) loss reaction and the 02(g) gain reaction is the same as reaction 3A(Ce). Calculated AJ for reaction 3A(Ce) for the first experiment at 715 K in Table VI1 was -84.69 J K-'mol-', and for the second one at 715 K AJ was -83.51 J K-'mol-'.

Entropy Constraints for Concomitant Oxidation

+

Thermochemical data for A+!?= ( A 3 - A,G)T1 for reaction l(La,(Pr,Ce)) are in Tables V-VII.

The following equation for AJ is valid for (1(La)) when there is only one crystal SO," product and one gaseous product of HI: AJ = A$(cr)[La20(S04), - La2(S03)2S04]+ A$(cr)[La20(S04)2 - Laz02S04]+ AS0(g)[4HI - 212 - 2H20] The first-bracketed term is the same as in reaction 2A, so the second bracketed term is experimentally defined. The equations for (1(La)) can be utilized also for (l(Pr)). For (l(Ce)) the term A$(cr)[CeO(S04) - Ce02] replaces the bracketed term for the substrate product in the AJ equation. Additional information can be derived from the formation equation for the substrate reactivity: La202S04(cr) '/202(g) S02(g) LazO(S04)2(cr): AJ = A,S(cr)[La,O(SO& La202S04]- ASo(g)[S02+ 1/202]. If the two bracketed terms are equal, then A+ = 0. Any mismatch can be equated to -AJ of the reaction pathway@). If '/2S2(g) is substituted for 1/20,(g), the oxidation product becomes La20(S203)S04(cr)instead of LaZO(S04)2(cr) * In Table V the AJ values for La for 605,660, 680, and 690 K (0.2 min) showed a minimum at 680 K of 79.01 J K-'mol-' and a peak of 80.23 J K-' mol-' for the maximum yield of HI(g) at 660 K. The oxidation product of SO:-(cr) in reaction 1(La) in the short term contained SO:-(cr) by hydrolysis, but S2032-(cr)also was a product by S2(g) oxidation of SO2@ adsorbed on the substrate, as shown by the small AJ (mismatch) numbers (Table V, last two columns) of the experimental data vs JANAF data. Data in Table V for two experiments at 660 K for 120 and 125 min gave S042-(cr)as the most likely oxidation product. The substrate concentration in these experiments was different than the substrate concentration for the short term experiments. For the short term, in strongly catalyzed Pr experiments at 660 K, AJ in Table VI was 9.7 J K-' mol-' less than for La. For experiments at T = 660,720,770, and 800 K, where the reaction times differed by a factor of 200, AJ was invariant. PrZ0(S2O3)SO4(cr) was not identified as a product by oxidation or by disproportionation, except possibly in the 10-min undercatalyzed experiment at 660 K. A$ of the S2032derivative can be estimated by adding the contribution of hs0(g)['/2S2- 1/202] J K-' mol-' to the value for Pr20(S04)S04(cr). For Ce, oxidation of S03Z-(cr)to yield S042-(cr)in reaction I(Ce) became competitive with reaction 2A at 745-775 K because of the increased reaction rate. Maximum reactivity occurred with the 0.835 Ce02(cr) composition for a 1-min reaction interval. In contrast the 0.723 CeO,(cr) composition produced S20sZ-(cr)in 1 min in reaction 3A(Ce) that was oxidized to SO,Z-(cr) 2HI(g) '/2S2(g) in 2 min in reaction 3B(Ce). The 0.125 Ce02(cr) composition retained S2032-(cr)for 2 min at 745 K, but not as much at 775 K after 1 min.

Gibbs Energy Changes Differences in A& of products vs reactants were obtained from the conventional equation for experimental A$.

end products that varied. The equation for (l(La)) was A,G = A , G ( C ~ ) [ L ~ ~ O ( S - OLaz(S03)2S04] ~)~ + A,G(cr)[product - La202S04]+ A,G(g)[4HI - 2 H 2 0 - 212] In the short term the product associated with the substrate was La20(S2O3)SO4(cr), and in the long term it was La20(S0,)2(cr). For (1(Pr)) the only identified solid product was Pr20(S04),(cr) by Iz(g) oxidation. The ArG equation for La was utilized for Pr. For Ce, the presence of the reactive CeOz(cr) substrate precluded an exclusive SO:-(cr) product of Ce3+;thus CeO(S04)(cr) was a second product if CeO(S203)(cr)did not form at lower T by S,(g) oxidation: CeO,(cr) + S02(g) + '/,S,(g) CeO(S203)(Cr)* The data in Tables VIII-X for differences in A& of reactants and products showed that there were reorganization energy changes which decreased the differences in the long term. HI(g) yield was lowered by reaction 2B. The work for replacing 02-(cr) with S2032-(cr)in La202S04(cr) (Table VIII) to yield La20(S203)S04(cr)was the same in the short term for the 605, 660, 680, and 690 K experiments that showed the constant AJ value in Table V. For the long term, two experiments for 120 and 125 min showed La20(S04)S04(cr) product formation. Work of disproportionation of reaction 2A increased with an increase in T because of the increase in AJ of the gas evolved. Data in Table IX for Pr showed that the reaction time 0.2 min at 660 K was sufficient for minimum work for formation of Pr20(S04),(cr)when Iz(g) pressure was high for catalysis. Longer reaction times with less 12(g)also were beneficial. Reorganization effects were less prominent than for La. For Ce in Table X there was some confounding of the data at 675-7 15 K by the solid-state disproportionation reaction involving Ce02(cr) sustrate reactivity. A more detailed analysis possibly could better quantify mechanistic yields. The difference of -488 kJ mol-' for A&(cr)[SO>- product - substrate] showed that the preferred pathway for many experiments at 745-775 K was the same as that for Pr at 660-800 K. The product was labile SO,,-(cr), and the required work of formation did not change much with a change in T.As expected, data for disproportionation did show variation with a change in T.

Enthalpy of Formation A,H data that were calculated for several compositions at 600-800 K are listed in Table XI. Conclusions The positive AJ for reaction 1 showed that the 02-that was available for SO,,-(cr) formation came from H20(g). The negative AJ for reaction 3A(Ce) showed that there was rearrangement of anions to relieve crowding in Ce2(S03),S04(cr)

Onstott by redistribution of 02-(cr) and formation of S2032-(cr) by valence changes in sulfur, plus exchange of substrate 02-for SO,"(cr) product. Experimental A$ for reaction 3A(Ce) was -42.3 J K-' mol-! for 2SO?-(cr) (715 K,0.835 substrate), compared to A S of -33.4 J K-I mol-' for reaction 2A for Pr2(S03)2S04(cr) (660-800 K, 0.760-0.426 substrate), where the pathway was evolution of l/&(g) + '/,SO,(g). No Pr product containing S,O?-(cr) was identified. The disproportionationmechanism for La,(S03),S04(cr) gave the same products as reaction 2A, but '/,SO,(g) were captured by the the evolved '/4S2(g) La,0$04(cr) substrate to yield 2La20(S203)S04(cr), CeOz(cr) substrate (0.603) also captured /4S2(g) 1/2S02(g)evolved by mechanism 2A in two experiments at 715 K. Enhanced solids stability allowed this pathway. A$' of oxidation of SO,"(cr) by I&) plus hydrolysis was closely equivalent to A+ of oxidation by 1/202(g). AJ of oxidation of reactant in reaction 2A was closely equivalent to AJ of oxidation by '/zO,(g) + I/,S2(g) without SO(g) formation. Retention of all reactants and products in the solids in reaction 3A(Ce) resulted in AJ closely equivalent to AJ for O,(g) loss from the reactant and reabsorption by oxidation of solids to facilitate anion rearrangement. Virtually all of the work of disproportionation by mechanism 2A for Pr was entropy change, since A,.H was very small, as shown in Table IV. For this reason the lanthanide contraction allowed the best crystal fit of SO& in Pr,O(SO,)SO,(cr) instead of the La or Ce derivative. The best fit for S20j2- seemed to be in Ce20(S203)S04(cr)instead of LazO(S203)S04(cr)because of the intracrystal disproportionation in reaction 3A(Ce) and the instability of La20(S203)S04(cr)at 660 K. A larger cation is required for best crystal fit of S2032-vs S O P . Normalized data were most useful for determining reaction pathways by the chronological entropy changes of phase change of O,(g) and/or S2(g) by disproportionation,oxidation, and hydrolysis. Disproportionation was the dominant solid-statereaction that activated 12(g)oxidation of SO,Z-(cr) plus hydrolysis to yield HI(g) as a concomitant secondary product. S042-(~r)was the primary product in the solids. S2032-(cr)was a primary product of intracrystal disproportionationfor Ce, but a secondary product for La, and not identified for Pr. Reorganization energy for La was larger than for Ce,showing the preference of La for SO,"(cr) as the end product. High reactivity of S2precluded sulfur condensation as a liquid at 600-800 K. The vapor pressure of S,(g) is 0.OOO 81 bar at 600 K and 1 bar at 882 K.3
