Thermodynamic data for inorganic compounds are found in a variety of tabulations and computer databases. The common tabulations and various data formats are discussed. Depending on the database, enthalpies are reported as sensible heats or enthalpy functions. Free energies are reported as free energies of formation, free energy functions, or Gibbs energies. Standard states may be the stable form at the temperature of interest or at 298.15 K. Equations for using these various forms of thermodynamic data are derived and illustrated with examples.
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
