The low temperature heat capacities (15°-300°K) and thermodynamic properties of the B-Quinol clathrates of carbon monoxide and hydrogen bromide

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston UniversityThe heat capacity (Cp) of four Beta-quinol clathrates of carbon monoxide with y = 0.460, 0.626, 0.752 and 0.810, and of one HBr clathrate with y = 0.811 have been measured from 15 to 300K. Cp for 3C6H4(OH)2 * yCO is found to be a linear function of y. The partial molal heat capacity and entropy of clathrated CO and hte heat capacity and entropy of 3 moles of Beta-quinol have been calculated. The respective values at 298.15K are: Cco = 9.76 +/- 0.8 cal. deg.^-1mol^-1; SCO = 20.94 +/- 0.20 cal. deg.^-1mole^-1; Cp^Q = 98.72 cal. deg.^-1; S^Q = 100.28 cal. deg.^-1. [TRUNCATED
