Free Energy Functions for Gaseous Monoxides

Abstract

Free energy functions for gaseous monoxides were calculated from presently available spectroscopic results. However, the electronic contributions to the free energy functions were estimated. A simple ionic model was assumed since the molecular electronic states for most of these oxides were not known. In some instances where experimental data were insufficient to calculate the interatomic distances and the equilibrium frequencies of vibrations, they were estimated. The results of these calculations were tabulated for 500 tained intervals from room temperature up to 3000 tained K. (auth
