Contributions to the Data on Theoretical Metallurgy: [Part] 14. Entropies of the Elements and Inorganic Compounds

Description: From Introduction: "The present bulletin covers data available through September 1959 and is a further elaboration and revision, made desirable by the fact that nearly 1,300 entropy values for inorganic substances at 298.15 degrees K. now are known as compared with 800 in the 1950 publication, which covered data available through October 1948. The present bulletin contains the currently pertinent explanatory matter that appeared in its predecessors."
