Abstract
The energy of combustion of a thoroughly dried sample of succinic acid was measured by oxtgen-bomb combustion calorimetry, with the result: ΔU o o (298.15 K) M = −(3020.86±0.54) cal th g −1 from six combustions. The results of 15 previous investigations on the energy of combustion of succinic acid were critically reviewed and recalculated to 298.15 K and standard state conditions. The weighted mean values for succinic acid are: ΔU o o M = −(3020.55±0.38) cal th g −1 ; ΔU o o = −(356.69 7±0.045) kcal th mol −1 ; ΔH o o = −(356.40 1±0.045) kcal th mol −1 ; ΔH t o = −(224.75±0.13) kcal th mol −1 . The optimum procedures for use of succinic acid as a test substance in combustion calorimetry are discussed.
