Thermodynamic Properties of Krypton. Vibrational and Other Properties of Solid Argon and Solid Krypton

Abstract

The calorimetric methods described in the preceding paper have been used to measure thermodynamic properties of solid and liquid krypton. Besides heat capacities and vapour pressures over a range of temperatures, the following were obtained: heat of fusion = 392.0 ± 2.3 cal mole-1, T (tr. pt.) = 115.776 °K, p(tr.pt.) = 548.7 ± 0.1 mm, heat of vaporization at 116.85 °K = 2179.2±0.9 cal mole-1 and at the normal boiling point = 2162 ± 1 cal mole-1.
