What is Heat Capacity and Chemical Equilibria of Liquid Selenium about?

## Abstract Heat capacities of liquid selenium have been measured by computer interfaced differential scanning calorimetry in the metastable region with an accuracy of ± 1% from 330 to 520°K. To avoid crystallization, the measurements were done on cooling. A semiquantitative fitting of the heat capacity to vibrational energy contributions, free volume (hole) effects, and heats of reaction from the changes in the ring‐chain and depolymerization equilibria was possible to within ±5% of the newly measured and literature data between the glass transition temperature (ca. 303°K) and 1000°K. It could be established that the shift in the ring‐chain equilibrium is not the major reason for the overall decrease in heat capacity above the glass transition temperature. The floor temperature, which was earlier placed at about 356°K, is possibly below the glass transition temperature. The increase in heat capacity beyond 800°K has been linked with the depolymerization reaction.
