1078.    FRANCIS, A. W.  Free Energies of Some Alcohols.  Ind. Eng. Chem., vol. 20, 1928, pp. 283-284.

        Equations have been derived for the free energies of formation of 9 alcohols.  These have been simplified to linear equations for the range 227°-427°.  A general equation for normal alcohols has been derived, and this has been compared with that for olefins to find conditions for dehydration or hydration of the olefins; and with that for CO to find conditions for synthesis.
