✦ Synopsis

The specific heat and the specific volume of sulphuric acid show aslight decreve with diMan. at est. before their expected monotonic increase. We theorize that these effects arise from the tendency to fonn the stoichiometic HpS04*H20 composition which puts a squeeze on the free volume. Exploiting this idea and the Debey-Htickel theory for the ionized radicals, we derive a fommula which simulates the specific heat behaviour.
