Abstract:
Efficient analytical representations of the thermodynamic properties for carbon disulfide remain open challenges in the communality of science and engineering. We present two analytical representations of the entropy and Gibbs free energy for gaseous carbon disulfide which we find to be of satisfactory accuracy and convenient for future use. The proposed two analytical representations merely rely on five molecular constants of the carbon disulfide molecule and avoid applications of a large number of experimental spectroscopy data. In the temperature range from 300 to 6000 K, the average relative deviations of the predicted molar entropy and reduced Gibbs free energy values from the National Institute of Standards and Technology database are 0.250 and 0.108%, respectively.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...

Entropy
When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.
Consider an infinitesimal step in the expansion, which...
