Calorimetric study of Wood alloy

The heat capacities of Wood alloy have been measured with an automatic adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range of 80～360 K. The thermodynamic data of solid liquid phase transition have been obtained from the heat capacity measurements. The melting temperature, enthalpy and entropy of fusion of the substance are 345.662 K, 18.47 J·g -1 and 0.053 43 J·g -1 ·K -1 , respectively. The necessary thermal data are provided for the low temperature thermodynamic study of the alloy.
