The heat capacities and adiabatic compressibilities of carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methylene dibromide and m ethyl iodide have been measured between about — 30 and 30° C. The heat capacities at constant volume have been derived, and it is emphasized th a t these quantities apply to particular volumes existing at different temperatures. An isotherm for liquids, based on high-pressure data, has been used to obtain an expression for the effect of change of volume on the heat capacity at constant volume. This relation has been applied to mercury, carbon disulphide, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and water. Satisfactory agreement has been obtained with the results found in other ways by Bridgman (1911, 1912) on mercury and water and by Gibson & Loeffler (1941) on carbon tetrachloride and water. From the results found in this work on the resolution of the various energy contributions to the liquid heat capacities of polyatomic molecules other than water, it is concluded that the concept of molecular rotation about a preferred axis can explain most of the facts established. There remains, however, a structural contribution to the total heat capacity which is approximately R cal mole -1 deg. -1 .

The compressibility of acetone has been redetermined at temperatures of 25 to 55 °C, and at pressures from atmospheric to 1 kbar. The results have been fitted to the Tait equation, and values of (∂P/∂T)V and of the internal pressure have been calculated. The heat capacity at constant volume has also been deduced as a function of pressure and temperature. The variations in these and other derived quantities have been shown to lead to conclusions about structural changes in the liquid.

The possibilities were verified of the proposed method for calculating the difference between constant-volume heat capacities of liquids and gases in the ideal state from known data on the volumetric behaviour and temperature dependence of heats of vaporization of pure substances.

The inequality of the universal gas constant of the difference in the heat capacity of a gas at constant pressure with the heat capacity of a gas at a constant volume is proved. The falsifications of using the heat capacity of a gas at constant pressure, false enthalpy, Poisson adiabat, Laplace sound speed, Hugoniot adiabat, based on the use of the false equality of the universal gas constant difference in the heat capacity of a gas at constant pressure with the heat capacity of a gas at a constant volume, have been established. The dependence of pressure on temperature in an adiabatic gas with heat capacity at constant volume has been established. On the basis of the heat capacity of a gas at a constant volume, new formulas are derived: the adiabats of an ideal gas, the speed of sound, and the adiabats on a shock wave. The variability of pressure in the field of gravity is proved and it is indicated that the use of the specific coefficient of ideal gas at constant pressure in gas-dynamic formulas is pointless. It is shown that the false “basic formula of thermodynamics” implies the falseness of the equation with the specific heat capacity at constant pressure. New formulas are given for the adiabat of an ideal gas, adiabat on a shock wave, and the speed of sound, which, in principle, do not contain the coefficient of the specific heat capacity of a gas at constant pressure. It is shown that the well-known equation of heat conductivity with the gas heat capacity coefficient at constant pressure contradicts the basic energy balance equation with the gas heat capacity coefficient at constant volume.
