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 (cal/mol*K)
H° = standard enthalpy (kcal/mol)
S° = standard entropy (cal/mol*K)
t = temperature (K) / 1000.

Notes
| 1 | Headless diffuse bands. |
| 2 | Constants for 202Hg81Br. |
| 3 | From 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. |
