S°_gas	188.66 ± 0.42	J/mol*K	N/A	Colwell J.H., 1963	The calorimetric value is significantly higher than the statistically calculated entropy, 186.26 J/molK, which remains the best value for use in thermodynamic calculations [ Vogt G.J., 1976, Friend D.G., 1989, Gurvich, Veyts, et al., 1989]. Earlier the value of 185.3 J/molK was calculated from experimental data [ Giauque W.F., 1931]. The value of S(298.15 K)=185.94 J/mol*K was obtained by high accuracy ab initio calculation [ East A.L.L., 1997].; GT
