ABSTRACT
Vapor pressures of highly pure glycerol were measured by the static and the transpiration methods in a broad temperature range. The standard molar enthalpy of vaporization of glycerol was derived from the vapor pressure temperature dependences. Thermodynamic data on glycerol available in the literature were collected, evaluated, and combined with own experimental results. We recommend the set of vaporisation and formation enthalpies for glycerol at 298.15 K (in kJ/mol): as the reliable benchmark properties for further thermochemical calculations. Quantum-chemical calculations of the gas phase molar enthalpy of formation of glycerol have been performed using the G4 method and results were in agreement with the recommended experimental data. The standard molar entropy of formation and the standard molar Gibbs function of formation of glycerol were estimated.
