The specific heats of five polymers were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range of 300 to 360 K. The measurements were performed with polymers in the form of films, powders, and granules to clarify whether or not DSC specific heat values are dependent on the diminution of the sample. It was found that the specific heats for the bulk and powdered form of the polymer samples are indistinguishable within the error limits, justifying the determination of specific heats of powders by means of DSC.

AbstractGibbs free energies of reaction in the systems Te-TeX4 (X = Cl, Br, I) were determined from e.m.f. measurements of solid state galvanic cells using silver halides as auxiliary electrolytes. From the temperature dependence of the e.m.f. the standard entropies and enthalpies of formation S0 (298.15 K) and ⊿Hf0 (298.15 K) have been calculated for α-TeI, TeI4 , Te2 Br, TeBr4 , Te3Cl2 and TeCl4 . The specific heats of α-Tel and Te2Br were determined from 1.5 K to 300 K by adiabatic and differential scanning calorimetry.

Abstract The temperature and enthalpy of the phase transition and fusion of EuCl2 were determined and found to be 1014 K, 11.5 kJ mol-1and 1125 K, 18.7 kJ mol-1 , respectively. Addition­ ally, the heat capacity of solid EuCl2 was measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry in the temperature range 306 -1085 K. The results were fitted to the linear equation C0p,m = (68.27 + 0.0255 T/K) J mol -1 K-1 in the temperature range 306 -900 K. Due to discrepancies in the liter­ ature on the temperature of fusion of EuCl2, the determination of the NaCl-EuCl2 phase diagram was repeated. It consists of a simple eutectic equilibrium at Teut = 847 K with x(EuCl2) = 0.49.
