The energy of reaction of liquid trinitrofluoromethane with diethyl oxalate as fuel was determined in a rotating bomb calorimeter. The standard heat of formation, which is -51.99 ± 0.48 kcál. per mole (±0.48 is estimated standard deviation of the mean), at °C. was calculated using a computer program which has been developed for compounds containing C, H, O, N( F, Cl, Br). The effect of temperature on density, vapor pressure, and surface tension of the compound was determined for a given temperature range. The equations relating these properties to the temperature are given. For better characterization, several other properties, such as freezing and boiling point, refractive index, and heat capacity were also measured and are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
