Spiropentane: Heat Capacity, Heats of Fusion and Vaporization, Vapor Pressure, Entropy and Thermodynamic Functions’ BY 1). CY. S c o n , H. L. FINKE,W. N. HUBBARD, J. P. MCCULLOUGH, M. E. GROSS,K. U. WILLIAMSON, GUYWADDINGTON AND H. M. HUFF MAN^ The hydrocarbon spiropentane, first prepared in a relatively pure state by Murray and Stevenson,3is of interest because of its highly condensed structure, and it seemed desirable to have accurate values of certain of its thermodynamic properties. Therefore, an investigation of spiropentane was incIuded in the program of the Bureau of Mines for studying the thermodynamic properties of hydrocarbons and related substances. The present paper reports experimental values of the heat capacity in the solid, liquid, and vapor states, heats of fusion and vaporization, vapor pressure, and entropy, and in addition gives values of the thermodynamic functions calculated from spectroscopic and molecular structure data for selected temperatures up to 1500’ K.

Experimental The Material.-The

spiropentane used for the calorimetric and vapor-pressure studies was purified from crude material, moot of which was prepared in this Laboratory but which also included two smaller quantities obtained from outside sources. The preparation was carried out by reducing pentaerythrityl tetrabromide with zinc in an ethanol-water mixture containing sodium carbonate and sodium iodide, as described by Slabey.* Batchwise reduction of 44.2 moles (17.2 kg.) of pentaerythrityl tetrabromide in this manner yielded 2.47 kg. (3.36 1.) of hydrocarbon product, which was then distilled in an efficient fractionatkg column t o separate the spiropentane from the methylenecyclobutane, 2-methyl-l-butene, and other byproducts of the reduction. Distillation fractions having refractive indices, *BOD,between 1.399 and 1.418 were combined t o give 870 ml. of crude spiropcntaae. To this of spiropentane obtahed in part was added about 76 d e from Dr. Ralph Spitzer, of the State,College of Oregon, and in part from the Automotive Section of the National Bureau of Standards through the courtesy d Frank L. Howard. The combined material wiu treated with bromine to convert the aleiinic impurities into higher-boiling brominated compounds. (Bromine was added untU the yellow color would persist for a number of seconds after the addition of a single drop.) The spiropentane was then separated from the brominated materials by a second fractional distillation. Center cuts from this distillation, all having refractive indices, n%, between 1.41198 and 1.41201, were combined into two samples.

having a volume of about 160 ml., was used for the heatof-vaporization measurements and the initial series of vapor-heat-capacity measurements. Its purity, as determined by the time-temperature freezing-point method, was 9S.6770. Sample B, having a volume of about 65 ml., was used for the first series of low-temperature studies and for the vapor-pressure measurements. From observations of the melting point ds a function of the fraction melted, its purity w a s found to be 99.6970. In the ebulliometric vapor-pressure studies, the difference between the boiiing and condensation temperatures of this sample a t the normal boiling point was observed t o be 0.009”. After completion of the measurements with these two samples, they were combined and further purified by repeated fractional crystallization. The crystallization was done in a closed, all-glass apparatus, which will be described in detail in a forthcoming publication from the Chemistry and Refining Section of this Station. The product from the fractional crystallization, Sample C (about 70 ml.), was used for the second series of low-temperature studies. I t s purity was 99.87%, as determined by the change of melting point with fraction melted. A summary of the melting-point data for Sample C is given in Table I. The larger volume of less pure material rejected in the fractional crystallization, Sample D, was used for the final series of vapor-heat-capacitv measurements. 1‘.4BLf* I SPIXOPENTANE MELTING POINTSUMMARY 0°C. = 273.16’K., A72/F = 0.02ROAT”

Low-Temperature Heat Capacity.-The low -temperature measurements were made in the apparatus described by Ruehrwein and Huffman.6 Very briefly, the method is as follows: About 0.61 mole of the material under investigation was contained in a sealed copper calorimeter, which was mounted in the adiabatic calorimetric system. A measured amount of electrical energy was supplied t o the calorimeter, and at all times the temperature nf tb* (61 Ruelarwoiu aad Huffmrn, Wd., $6, 1620 (19481,

environment was maintained at that of the calorimeter to prevent heat interchange. The initial and iinal temperatures of the calorimeter were measured b means of a platinum resistance thermometer. The ecctrical measurements required for determining the resistance of the thermometer and the electrical energy were made on a "White:' double potentiometer in conjunction with a high-sensitivity galvanometer and accurately calibrated resistances. The potential was in terms of a bank of six saturated cadmium cells, which had been certified by the National Bureau of Standards. Time measurements were made with an electric stop clock, which was operated by an a.c. power supply, the frequency of which was accurate fo 0.001%. The precision of the measurements was, in general, better than O.l%, and above 30'K. it is believed that the accuracy uncertainty should not be greater than 0.2%. The energy measurements were made in terms of the international joule and converted t o calories by dividing by 4.1833. Two complete sets of low-temperature measurements were made, one with Sample B and one with Sample C. The two sets of data did not differ significantly, except in the premelting region, and they yielded virtually identical values for the entropy of the liquid a t 298.16'K. Only the data obtained with the purer material, Sample C, will

Vapor Heat Capacities and Heats of Vaporization.Measurements of vapor heat capacities and heats of vaporization were carried out with a flow calorimeter and cycling vaporizer as described in previous publications from this laboratory.6 The glass cycling vaporizer formerly used has been replaced by one made of metal. This will be doscribed in a forthcoming publication. Sample A was used in the determination of the heat of vaporization. As the 0.33% of volatile impurity present in this sample probably was similar in physical properties to spiropentane, it is believed that it had a negligible effect upon the heat of vaporization. From three experiments at each of the three temperatures 10.00,25.00 and 38.98" the mean values 6763 * 5, 6572 f 4 and 8393 * 1 cal./ mole were obtained. The uncertainties listed are rnaximum deviations from the mean. The accuracy of these values is believed t o be about f0.1%. For interpolation within the temperature range covered by the experimental measurements, the following equation may be used AH,,,. = 8023 2.727T - 2.547 X 10-'T2 (1) The heat capacity of the vapor was determined a t two or more pressures a t each of five temperatures ranging from 318 to 488" K. Two complete series of measurements were made. The first of these, made on sample A, was rejected because of inconsistencies and a lack of precision in the data indicative of experimental difficulties of unknown nature. The second series was made on Sample D, which at the beginning of the measurements contained approximately 0.4 mole per cent. of volatile impurity but during the measurements suffered an additional contamination of 0.6 mole per cent. of non-volatile impurity. The non-volatile impurity affected the heat of vaporization by an amount mainly due t o a heat of mixing term. The cycling process involved the vaporization of the volatile material and its return in liquid form t o the vaporizer. An analysis of the heat effects attending the changes of state entering into the cycling process indicated that the presence of the small percentage of non-volatile material had little effect upon the flow rates determined from the power input and the heats of vaporization of the uncontaminated sample. The quantity of sample available mas insufficient

The symmetry number is 4. Values of the physical conNo corrections for anharmonicity, rotational stretching or interaction between rotation and vibration were included, as the last two egects were estimated to be negligible, and insufficient data are available for any adeqwate treatment of anharmonicity . The d u e s calculated for the entropy at 383.16, 298.16, and 312.14'' K., 66.40, 67.46 and 68.45 cal./deg./mole agree well with the calorimetric values of 68.37,67.45 and 68.44 cal./deg./mole from Table VI. The values calculated for the heat capacity aTe compared with those determined experimentally in Table 1V. The differences at the higher temperatures between the observed and calculated values of c; are no greatcarthan is to be expected from the neglect of anharmonicity in computing the latter. Table IXlists the values of the thermodynamic fanctions lor selected temperatures up t o 1500' X . Some entries in the table are given to more decimal places than is justified by their absolute accuracy in order to retain internal I-onsistency among the several functions. stants given by Wagman, id &,'*were used.

The fractional distillations were done by H. J Coleman of that section. Summary 'The heat capacity of spiropentane in the solid and liquid states was measured over the temperature range 12-298' K. The melting point (166.14 * 0.05" I(.)and heat of fusion (1538 cal./mole) were determined. The heat of vaporization was ineasured at three temperatures, and the values iound were 6753, 6572 and 6393 cal./mole, at 10.00, 25.00 and 38.98', respectively. The heat capacity of the vapor was measured at five different temperatures in the range 318 to 487' K. 'I3e experimental values of C, the heat capacity iii the ideal gas state, may be represented by the equation. C$ = -7.078 0.1085OT k.799 X !0-5Tz. The vapor pressure was ineasured over the temperature range from 3 to Ti', and the following equation was found to lit the va or-pressure data: loglop = 6.91794 1090.589/t 231.165). Xn equation for the second virial coefficient, B , in the equation of state PV = RT BP was obtained from thermal data. This equation is B(cc.) = -57 - 136.7 exp(65O/T). The entropy of liquid spiropentane is 46.29 * 0.10 cal./deg./mole, and the entropy of the vapor in the ideal gas state at one atmosphere pressure is 67.45 * 0.15 cal./deg./mole, both at
