Ihe ideal gas thermodynamic properties (C;, So, HO-H~, (HO-H~)/T,-(C'-H~)/T, aHF, aCr, and log Kj) for propanone and 2-butanone in the temperature range from 0 to 1500 K and at 1 atm were calculated by statistical mechanical procedures, using rigid-rotor and harmonic-oscillator approximations. The internal rotation contributions to thermodynamic properties were evaluated by use of, a partition function formed by summation of internal rotation energy levels. The calculated heat capacities and entropies are in agreement with the available experimental values.
