Abstract
The sound velocity in gaseous pentafluoroethane (HFC-125, CF3CHF2) has been measured by means of a spherical acoustic resonator. Seventy-two sound-velocity values were measured with an uncertainty of ±0.01% at temperatures from 273 to 343 K and pressures from 10 to 250 k Pa. The ideal-gas specific heats and the second acoustic-virial coefficients have been determined on the basis of the sound-velocity measurements. The second virial coefficients calculated from the present sound-velocity measurements agree with literature values which were determined from PVT measurements by means of a Burnett method.
