The Published Fusion Enthalpy and its Influence on Solubility Estimation for Alcohols

Abstract

Experimental or estimated results of thermodynamic properties of sublimation and vaporization enthalpy of several long chain alcohols have been reported by researchers [1–12]. Also, heat of formation of them in the liquid and solid phase are available. Inthis work these data are appliedin two differents equations to calculate enthalpy of fusion. Moreover, it could be possible to verify ifthe experimental data for fusion enthalpy available in NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology (https://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry)can be considered reliable for using in projects purpose.
