Thermodynamic properties of lead

The thermodynamic properties of lead have been evaluated up to 2400 K. By discarding discrepant specific heat measurements included in previous reviews it has been possible to determine the specific heat curve of the solid phase to an accuracy exceeding 0.1% above 210 K. Selected values include an enthalpy of sublimation of 195.2±0.4 kJ/mol for the monatomic gas phase at 298.15 K, a dissociation enthalpy D0 of 82.1±1.0 kJ/mol for the diatomic gas species at absolute zero and a derived equilibrium boiling point of 2020 K at one atmosphere pressure.
