Heats and free energies of formation of the paraffin hydrocarbons, in the gaseous state, to 1,500 degrees K

Abstract

Values are presented for the heats of formation and the free energies of formation , from solid carbon (graphite) and gaseous hydrogen, of all the normal paraffin hydrocarbons and of the isomeric paraffins from t he butanes through the octanes, in the gaseous state, to 1,500° K.
