Gas phase thermochemistry data

Data compiled by: Glushko Thermocenter, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow

Quantity	Value	Units	Method	Reference	Comment
S°_gas	114.77	cal/mol*K	N/A	Dworkin A., 1983	The value of 428.1 J/molK was obtained for the third-law entropy value at 298.15 K if other enthalpy of sublimation of benzil was used. However, statistical values of S(298.15 K) calculated by author [ Dworkin A., 1983] for different molecular models (382.3 and 405.3 J/molK) are considerably less than the calorimetric values.
