• Thermodynamic Difference Rule (TDR)
• Gas hydrates
• Clathrates
• Heat capacities of clathrate hydrates
• Constancy of Theta(P) (H2O, s - s)

This paper continues the investigation of the role of TDR equations as they apply to heat capacity data. A TDR equation is proposed and investigated using heat capacity data for CH4 center dot 6H(2)O, C2H6 center dot 7.67H(2)O, C3H8 center dot 17.0H(2)O, Xe center dot 5.90H(2)O, Xe center dot 6.29H(2)O and Kr center dot 6.10H(2)O Variation of Theta(Cp) (H2O, s - g)/JK(-1)mol(-1) is examined as a function of temperature, T/K by fitting a linear regression line. The main conclusion of the paper is that the equation:
[C-p(MpXq center dot nH(2)O,s,T) - C-p(MpXq,g,T)= [0.1378T/K + 0.7972]n
represents a TDR equation capable of yielding an estimate of heat capacity, C-p(MpXq center dot nH(2)O,s,T) for any general hydrate (gas hydrate or conventional inorganic hydrate) in the temperature, T/K, range 100-300 K, with errors not usually greater than 10% and often considerably less than this.
So vast are the capabilities of the TDR that a proposal is made for the creation of a vast database of entirely self-consistent thermodynamic data for hydrates and their parents without use of further experimental calorimetry.
The TDR is used to determine an improved value for the heat capacity of the tetrahydrate of beryllium sulfate:
C-p(BeSO4 center dot 4H(2)O,s)/JK(-1) mol(-1) -247.1.
