High Temperature Heat Capacity of Gaseous Species

The thermodynamic data of gaseous species have been extensively investigated in the relation with the high temperature glass forming materials. In many cases, only the enthalpy of formation at 298 K is reported from the vapor pressure mesurement with Mass spectrometer. Usually, heat capacities of gaseouos species are evaluated from the molecular constants. Even so, for complicated molecules such as metal oxisalt species, such investigations are quite limited compared with a number of available enthalpy values. Thus, a very simple method is adopted to estimate the heat capacities for such species.

    1. Entropy
        The entropy changes for the above formation reaction are assumed to change smoothly with atomic radii of the metal for respective acidic vapors. From the known values from the well investigated compounds, the entropy for respective vapors are estimated with appropriate extrapolation.

          Li 0.76 14.34 -12 17.038 12 -11
          Na 1.02 -2.006 -13.436 8.508 -3.914 -12.634
          K 1.35 4 -8.492 12.357 2 -7
          Rb 1.5 10.43 -2.426 14.313 8 -1
          Cs 1.7 11.577 -1.825 12.708 9 -0.5


    2. Heat Capacity
        The sum of the heat capacities of the constituent vapors is adopted.
    3. Characterisitic Features
        As a result of above assumptions, the entropy changes of the above formation reaction is always constant independently of temperature.
