Abstract—
The paper reports original thermochemical data obtained on natural oxo-amphibole kaersutite Na0.4K0.3(Ca1.6Na0.4)(Mg2.9\({\text{Fe}}_{{0.8}}^{{2 + }}\)Al0.7Ti0.6\({\text{Fe}}_{{0.5}}^{{3 + }}\))[Si6.1Al1.9O22](OH)0.2O1.8 from alkaline basalt in Mongolia. The data were obtained using a Tian–Calvet microcalorimeter. The enthalpy of formation from elements Δf\(H_{{{\text{el}}}}^{{\text{0}}}\)(298.15 K) = –12102 ± 16 kJ/mol) was obtained by high-temperature melt solution calorimetry. The entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs energy of formation of the end members of the isomorphic series kaersutite NaCa2Mg3TiAl[Si6Al2O22]O2–ferrikaersutite NaCa2Mg3TiFe3+[Si6Al2O22]O2 were estimated.
