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
| 1 | From the absorption spectrum Horne, Gosavi, et al., 1968. |
| 2 | For v ≥ 30: ωe = 186.2, ωexe = 0.40. |
| 3 | ωeze = -0.000033. All constants refer to R heads of B-X. From Q heads of D-X ωe = 293.4, ωexe = 1.82. |
| 4 | From electron diffraction data Maxwell and Mosley, 1940; according to Wieland, 1941 more likely corresponding to the Hg-Cl separation in HgCl2 than in HgCl. |
