Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The investigation of a magnetic component of the heat capacity of natural samples of copper sulfates antlerite Cu 3 SO 4 (OH) 4 in the temperature range below 40 K and brochantite Cu 4 SO 4 (OH) 6 below 55 K has been carried out. A regular component of the heat capacity has been calculated from experimental data of adiabatic calorimetry. In the low-temperature area of (0 to 55) K two peaks of magnetic heat capacity for brochantite have been registered. The contributions of anomalous component Δ S tr into entropy of the minerals are (11 ± 3) J·mol –1 ·K –1 for antlerite and (5.3 ± 1.5) J·mol –1 ·K –1 for brochantite.
