Gas Phase Heat Capacity (Shomate Equation)

Cp° = A + B*t + C*t2 + D*t3 + E/t2
H° − H°298.15= A*t + B*t2/2 + C*t3/3 + D*t4/4 − E/t + F − H
S° = A*ln(t) + B*t + C*t2/2 + D*t3/3 − E/(2*t2) + G
    Cp = heat capacity (J/mol*K)
    H° = standard enthalpy (kJ/mol)
    S° = standard entropy (J/mol*K)
    t = temperature (K) / 1000.

Notes

1Headless diffuse bands.
2Constants for 202Hg81Br.
3From Patel and Darji, 1968, Greig, Gunning, et al., 1970. Earlier analyses of C-X by Sastry, 1941, Sastry, 1941, 2 and Krishnamurthy, 1958 as well as the suggested existence of an additional system in the region 36100 - 37000 cm-1 Krishnamurthy, 1958, Patel and Darji, 1968 are not convincing.
