"Properties Databank 1.0" contains the following properties for over 450 differe nt chemicals: - Mole Weight. - Melting Point. - Boiling Point. - Critical Temperature. - Critical Pressure. - Critical Volume. - Critical Compresibility Factor. - Ascentric Factor. - Liquid Density. - Dipole Moment. - Heat Capacity of the Vapor in the ideal gas state. (As a function of the tempe rature.) - Viscosity. (As a function of the temperature.) - Standard Enthalpy of Formation. - Standard Free Energy of Formation. - Vapor Pressure. (As a function of the temperature.) - Vaporizing Heat. In addition of beeing a fast reference to these properties, the "Properties Data bank 1.0" Add-In contains the following functions that can be used as the standa rd Microsoft Excel's worksheet functions: - Cp(Name,Temperature): Returns the heat capacity in Cal/mol-K of the compound " Name" in the ideal gas state at the specified temperature in K. - AntoineP(Name, Temperature): Returns the vapor pressure in mmHg of the compoun d "Name" at the specified temperature in K using Antoine's equation. - AntoineT(Name, Pressure): Returns the saturation temperature in K of the compo und "Name" at the specified Pressure in mmHg using Antoine's equation. - Viscosity(Name, Temperature): Returns the viscosity in cP of the compound "Nam e" at the specified temperature in K. - HarlacherP(Name, Temperature): Returns the vapor pressure in mmHg of the compo und "Name" at the specified temperature in K using Harlacher's equation. All these functions can be either directly written in the cell were they are goi ng to be used, preceded of the "=" sign; they also appear in the cathegory or "D atabank" in the functions editor; or they can directly be inserted from the "Pro perties Databank 1.0" window using the "Insert Function" buttons.
