The heat capacities of 1 - methyl - 3,5 - diphenyl - pyrazole have been pre
cisely determined with a small sample precision automated adiabatic calorim
eter over the temperature range from 78 to 370 K. A phase transition from s
olid to liquid is observed at the peak temperature of (332.903 +/- 0.152) K
. The molar enthalpy and entropy of the phase transition as well as chemica
l purity of the substance are determined to be (17463.48 +/- 21.81) J . mol
(-1), (52.55 +/- 0.06) J .K-1. mol(-1) and 99.54%, respectively, on the bas
is of the heat capacity measurements. The further research of solid - liqui
d phase transition for this compound has been carried out by means of DSC t
echnique.
