The specific heats of twelve aromatic hydrocarbons have been measured over a wide range of temperatures. The heats of fusion of seven of these compounds have also been determined.2. The entropies of the twelve hydrocarbons have been calculated from these heat capacity data. The results thus obtained have been found to agree in most cases with the values predicted by means of a simple, empirical equation.3. The corresponding free energies have also been calculated and certain regularities noted. The free energy change in the hydrogenation of benzene to give cyclohexane has been derived in two different ways.
