Abstract:

The heat capacities of D-galactose and galactitol were measured on a quantum design physical property measurement system(PPMS) over a temperature range of 1.9―300 K, and the experimental data were fitted to a function of T using a series of theoretical and empirical models in appropriate temperature ranges. The fit results were used to calculate thermodynamic function values,Cp,mθ0TSmθ, and Δ0THmθfrom 0 K to 300 K. The standard molar heat capacity, entropy and enthalpy values of D-galactose and galactitol at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa were determined to be Cp,mθ =(227.96±2.28) and (239.50±2.40) J·K-1·mol-1,Smθ= (211.22±2.11) and (230.82±2.30) J·K-1·mol-1 and = Hmθ (33.95±0.34) and (36.57± 0.37) kJ/mol, respectively.
