The determination of the entropy of oxalate ion is an important step in the program for the evaluation of ionic entropies,' since we wish to use its value in obtaining the entropies of a number of positive ions, especially those of the rare earth group. Moreover, it is of interest theoretically, as there are but few simple divalent negative ions. The heat capacity of CaCzOa-HzOwas measured directly from 19.31 to 300°K. using the experimental method described by Latimer and Greensfelder.lc The heat of solution and free energy of solution were calculated from solubility data. The entropy of calcium ion was calculated from existing data.

from calcium chloride solution with ammonium oxalate. The chloride solution was kept a t about 70' and the precipitation took place over a period of three days. The reaction mixture was stirred constantly. The precipitated material was washed by decantation until the washings gave no test for chloride with silver nitrate. This washed material was dried at 105' and the dried product showed 100.007% CaCzO4.Hz0on the basis of oxide formed on ignition. Specific heat measurements were made on a sample weighing 73.50 g. Measurements.-The molal heat capacity values fall on a smooth curve up to 200°K. and deviate only slightly above that temperature. The experimental data are given in Table I and are shown graphically in Fig. 1. The temperature intervals employed in various regions were as follows: 19 to 30°K., about 3" per run; 30 to 200'K., about 5' per r u n ; above 200"K., from 5 to So per run,
