Abstract

Molar heat capacities and molar enthalpies of phase transitions in the system ZnCl2-DMSO have been investigated over the temperature range 240 to 405 K and the concentration range 11.1 to 40 mole % ZnCl2. The temperatures of fusion and of phase transitions were determined and compared with literature data. Equations were proposed for the description of the temperature dependence of the molar heat capacity in the liquid state. The concentration dependence of the molar heat capacity in the molten state was found to exhibit positive deviations from additivity.
