Abstract
The frequency-pulse method is used to measure the speed of sound in ethyl and methyl alcohols at atmospheric pressure over the temperature range 293–351°K. Values of isochoric heat capacity and coefficients of adiabatic and isothermal expansion of methyl alcohol at atmospheric pressure are calculated for the pressure range 175.47–337.85°K.
