The ruthenium-oxygen system has been studied over the temperature range800 to 1500
and over the oxygen pressure range 0.01 to 1.0 atm. Results show that solid Ru02 is the
only stable condensed oxide under the con-ditions of the study. The dissociation pressure of
the oxide reaches 1 atm. at 1540. The effect of oxygen pressure on vapor pressure indicates
that the important vapor species are RuOg and RuOj. From the pressure data, the following
heats of formation, iff 2! s, and standard entropies, S 298, were obtained:—72.2±2.0 …
