The results of the runs made on solid 10 and liquid tellurium tetrachloride are ?given in Table I. The column headed 2 8 H-HZQ8.1 represents the number of calo- X ries evolved in cooling one mole from 3 6 the temperature in the other column down to 25'. The data listed in the 8 4 tables are plotted in Fig. 1. 2 The two values obtained for the solid just below the melting point are ab0 normally high due to some pre-melting. If these two are neglected, the rest of 50 100 150 200 250 Temperature, "C. the results for the solid range follow a Fig. 1. linear relationship within experimental error.
