Selected ATcT [1, 2] enthalpy of formation based on version 1.122e of the Thermochemical Network [3]
This version of ATcT results was generated from an expansion of version 1.122d [4] to include chemical species related to methyl acetate and methyl formate [5].| Species Name | Formula | Image | ΔfH°(0 K) | ΔfH°(298.15 K) | Uncertainty | Units | Relative Molecular Mass |
ATcT ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Methyl formate | HC(O)OCH3 (g) |  | -346.70 | -359.74 | ± 0.94 | kJ/mol | 60.0520 ± 0.0017 | 107-31-3*0 |
Representative Geometry of HC(O)OCH3 (g)
Top contributors to the provenance of ΔfH° of HC(O)OCH3 (g)
The 20 contributors listed below account only for 70.5% of the provenance of ΔfH° of HC(O)OCH3 (g).A total of 57 contributors would be needed to account for 90% of the provenance.
Please note: The list is limited to 20 most important contributors or, if less, a number sufficient to account for 90% of the provenance. The Reference acts as a further link to the relevant references and notes for the measurement. The Measured Quantity is normaly given in the original units; in cases where we have reinterpreted the original measurement, the listed value may differ from that given by the authors. The quoted uncertainty is the a priori uncertainty used as input when constructing the initial Thermochemical Network, and corresponds either to the value proposed by the original authors or to our estimate; if an additional multiplier is given in parentheses immediately after the prior uncertainty, it corresponds to the factor by which the prior uncertainty needed to be multiplied during the ATcT analysis in order to make that particular measurement consistent with the prevailing knowledge contained in the Thermochemical Network.
Top 10 species with enthalpies of formation correlated to the ΔfH° of HC(O)OCH3 (g)
The correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to 1, with 1 representing perfectly correlated species, -1 representing perfectly anti-correlated species, and 0 representing perfectly uncorrelated species.
