ENTHALPY INCREMENT MEASUREMENTS FROM 4.5 TO 318 K FOR BISMUTH(CR) - THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES FROM 0 K TO THE MELTING-POINT

Enthalpy increments for bismuth(cr) were measured from 4.5 to 318 K with an adiabatic calorimeter. The calorimeter's performance was demonstrated through comparison of measured enthalpy increments for copper and aluminum oxide to literature values. The effect that different temperature scales had on these comparisons for copper at low temperatures was discussed. The new enthalpy increments for bismuth(cr) were combined with previously measured thermodynamic properties for temperatures below 4 K and above 300 K in order to generate the thermodynamic properties of bismuth(cr) from 0 K to the melting point.
