Abstract
The existence of a solid–solid transition in ethane is now generally accepted. A value for the heat of transition, 2437±35 J/mol at 89.774 K, together with a new value for the heat of fusion, 279±6 J/mol at 90.337 K, is reported in this work. The sum of the new values is in excellent agreement with the earlier measurements, provided that the heat required to raise the temperature of the solid between transitions is included. The transition temperatures are in agreement with the most recent determinations of other authors.Keywords
