Abstract

The heat capacities of Calorimetry Conference copper and of muscovite, pyrophyllite, and illite were measured between 15 and 375 K using an adiabatic calorimeter. Tables of the thermodynamic functions p.(TO)/T, (T —H°O)/T, and T —S°O are presented for these phases at integral temperatures from 0 to. 370 K. At 298.15 K (25.0°C), T —S°O is 33.12±0.06, 287.7±0.6, 239.4±0.4, and 1,104.2±0.6 J/(mol•K) for copper, muscovite, pyrophyllite, and illite, respectively. The operation of a semiautomatic data-acquisition system for calorimetric measurements at low temperatures is also described, together with a description of a miniature calorimeter having a novel closure seal.
