Inorganic compounds heat capacity data

A critically evaluated compilation of the heat capacities of pure liquid organic and some inorganic compounds. It covers data published between 1993 and 1999 and some data of 2000 as well as some data from older sources. This paper is an update of reference [24]. 

The Bureau of Mines Bulletin 476 revises and elaborates data given in Bulletin 371 (published 1934) and contains information concerning elements and compounds, arranged alphabetically. Numerical data presented in both tabular and algebraic form are based on experimental measurements and on statistical mechanical calculations. The claim is made that the compilation covers all available high-temperature enthalpy and heat capacity data for inorganic substances up to the time of publication. 

References (20, 22, 23, 24, 29, and 74) comprise the series of Technical Notes 270 from the Chemical Thermodynamics Data Center at the National Bureau of Standards. These give selected values of enthalpies and Gibbs energies of formation and of entropies and heat capacities of pure compounds and of aqueous species in their standard states at 25 °C. They include all inorganic compounds of one and two carbon atoms per molecule.

Very limited experimental data for heat capacity are available for inorganic compounds as compared to the more abundant experimental data which are available for organic compounds. Thus, the estimates for these substances should be considered rough approximations in the absence of experimental data. The estimates are noted by the following the compound name. 

The following values for the changes in St and in H between 25 °C and 1000 K are taken from Contributions to the data on theoretical metallurgy. X. High temperatme heat-content, heat-capacity, and entropy data for inorganic compounds by Kelley (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1949. Bulletin 476)... 

The heat capacities of solids and liquids are also functions of temperature and independent of pressure. Data are given in Appendix A-.2, Physical Properties of Water A.3, Physical Properties of Inorganic and Organic Compounds and A.4, Physical Properties of Foods and Biological Materials. More data are available in (PI). 

This reference book contains a compilation of thermodynamic data for about 2000 chemical compounds and aqueous ions (mostly inorganic). The thermodynamic properties tabulated are A-G , A,H , S , and C at 298.15 K, electrode potentials, enthalpies and entropies for phase transitions, A,G of inorganic aqueous ions from 25 to 350 C, partial molar heat capacities from 10 to 130 C, and the partial molar volumes of aqueous electrolytes at high temperatures and pressures. There are 1550 references given to the primary literature and to the literature evaluations of others.
