Calorimetric determinations of thermal properties of methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, and benzene

Abstract

The method and calorimetric equipment previously used in the determination of thermal properties of saturated water and steam were applied, without essential modification, in an investigation of corresponding properties of methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, and benzene. Precautions were taken to obtain these liquids in a very pure state. Determinations were made in the range from 40to 110C, yielding values of latent heats of vaporization and changes in heat content.
