Specific heat of solid hexane
« on: April 25, 2014, 04:57:11 PM »
I was looking this up for a project and just couldn't find anything, for some reason.  Is the information just not out available?  I need two reliable sources as well, which makes it even harder to find.

It should be available in books. I found a reported value online for the enthalpy of combustion of hexane but it might well not be solid hexane (-3873 kJ mol-1). Off a pure guess based on hexane's standard state, this probably refers to liquid hexane, so all you have to do is add the enthalpy change for Hexane (s)  :rarrow: Hexane (l) and you'll get the enthalpy change for combustion of liquid hexane. Then you simply divide by Mr to get specific enthalpy.
