Notes:

1. The color-highlighted data was found in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 1993.

2. All other data were calculated by using the conversion factors below. All calculated
quantities are shown with one extra significant figure to avoid rounding error in subsequent
calculations.

ºC = K – 273.15

ºF = 32 + (ºC * 9/5)

101.325 kPa = 1 atm = 14.696 psi = 760 torr

3. Graphs of the above data are given on the next pages.
