TABLE 7b: The experimental data used in setting up the least squares problem for solving for the enthalpies of formation of the phases in LSQDS, and the results of the least squares analysis. The experimental data are grouped according to chemical subsystems: (click on system below to go to relevant page for details)

The first columns give the experimental data, in the form of the P, T, x(CO2) and ln K of the experiments, followed by the corresponding enthalpies of reaction calculated using the entropies, volumes etc in Table 5. LSQDS converts the enthalpies of reaction into an enthalpy of reaction bracket given in the first line of the summary. The least squares enthalpy of reaction (cH) is given in the second line of the summary, with its calculated uncertainty. The calc column gives the calculated T, P or ln K of the experimental conditions using the least squares results, followed by its uncertainty. The miss column gives the amount that the calculated T, P or ln K is outside the experimental bracket (if at all). In the summary information for each reaction, the code on the first line relates to the calculation of the enthalpy of reaction bracket (see Powell and Holland, 1993); the number at the end of the second line (if present) is a factor used in weighting experimental results in the least squares analysis; the comment making up the third line gives an overall appraisal of the relationship between the enthalpy of reaction bracket and the calculated enthalpy of reaction; uH on the fourth line is a measure of the uncertainty on each end of the enthalpy of reaction bracket arising from experimental uncertainties (in P, T etc), d/s is a measure of bracket overlap normalised to the uncertainty on bracket ends as discussed in Powell and Holland (1993), and h is the hat matrix diagonal.
