Abstract
The massic energy of combustion of vanadium disilicide in fluorine according to the reaction: VSi2(cr) + (13/2)F2(g) = VF5(g) + 2SiF4(g), has been measured calorimetrically. On the basis of the derived molar enthalpy of reaction and the standard molar enthalpies of formation δfH of VF5(g) and SiF4(g), δfH (VSi2, cr, 298.15 K) = -(133.3 + 2.0) kJ mol-1 at T = 298.15 K and p = 0.1 MPa. This result is compared with other values of δfH (VSi2) from the literature.
