A pressure calorimeter has been designed. constructed, and used to measure the
heat capacity of sea salt solutions from 80' to 2OO0C. and up to 12% salinity.
C, valuer calculated from experimental measurements are correlated by the use
of extended Debye-Hirckel theoty. Heat capacity values at saturation, C,.,, and partial
and apparent valuer for sea salts and water are included. The heat capacities,
C,-, and C,, are in general considered accurate to fO.OO1 cal. per gram per "C.
with a maximum error of f0.003.Values are smoothed to include previously measured
heat capacities between 0' and 8 0 ' C . All valuer are in defined calories = 4.1840
absolute iodes per gram per C. Enthalpies are given in calories per gram, referred

equipment i t is necessary to calculate energy requirements.
This can he done accurately only with a knowledge of
the heat capacity of sea water solutions. Bromley et al.
(2, 4 ) have published values to 8PC. as measured in an
atmospheric pressure calorimeter. These data agreed with
the data of Cox and Smith ( 5 ) . Jamieson et al. (6) recently
measured values for a synthetic sea water with 1% accuracy
to 180°C. and 15% salt concentration.
As a guide, for measurement of heat capacity above
8PC. many of the techniques employed were those used
by Osborne et al. (10) in the measurement of the heat
capacity of water.
Sea water solutions are rather corrosive and contain many
ions, including bicarbonate. For this reason, and also
because of the availability of new materials, a new calorim-
eter was designed. From the measured heat capacities the
partial and apparent values as well as enthalpies were cal-
culated.

Vapor-Liquid Equilibria in the Ethane-n-Hexane System

Vapor and liquid equilibrium phase comporitions were determined in the ethane-
n-hexane system at 150°, 250°, and 350‘ F. at pressures from approximately 60
p.s.i.9. to near the critical. Phase envelopes were extrapolated to yield critical composi-
tion and pressure at each temperature. Equilibrium ratios (K = y / x ) from the
experimental data are compared with those from the most recent revision of the
NGPSA K-charts. As previous studies of the ethane-n-hexane binary are not found
in the literature, no comparison with other experimental work is possible.
