Abstract:

The low temperature thermodynamics of the stable phase of silver was assessed by the polynomial model and Debye model from the experimental data available in the literature. By means of the constrained non-linear least squares curve fitting arithmetic, two sets of parameter values were determined. The expression of the thermodynamic functions cp(T) and G(T)-H (298.15K) at 0-298.15K were presented. Only the low temperature thermodynamics of the metastable phase of silver can be extrapolated by the Debye model. The expression of the thermodynamic functions cp(T) at 0-298.15K was presented.

Key words: silver, thermodynamic, heat capacity
