We verify here a linear variation of the specific heat C p with the thermal expansivity α p and also a linear variation of α p with the isothermal compressibility κ T for the liquid phase of carbon tetrachloride close to the melting point. Linear relations (Pippard relations) are verified by analyzing the experimental data for the thermal expansivity α p at various pressures in the liquid phase of CCl 4 close to the melting point. Our linear plots of C p against α p and also α p against κ T give the values of the slope d P m/d T as ~ 8.5MPa/K and 9.5MPa/K, respectively, which can be compared with the experimental value obtained from a P– T phase diagram close to the melting point in carbon tetrachloride.
