Approximate thermochemical tables for some C-H and C-H-O species
Approximate thermochemical tables are presented for some C-H and C-H-O species and for some ionized species, supplementing the JANAF Thermochemical Tables for application to finite-chemical-kinetics calculations. The approximate tables were prepared by interpolation and extrapolation of limited available data, especially by interpolations over chemical families of species. Original estimations have been smoothed by use of a modification for the CDC-6600 computer of the Lewis Research Center PACl Program which was originally prepared for the IBM-7094 computer Summary graphs for various families show reasonably consistent curvefit values, anchored by properties of existing species in the JANAF tables.

Study of the gas contents of rocks: An approach to the evolution of atmospheres on the earth and planets
A high vacuum system was built for extracting volatiles from rocks either by heating or crushing, and preliminary analyses of the volatiles were made for selected terrestrial basalts and granites. The apparatus and experimental procedures are described, and the major problems associated with water measurement and choice of argon to replace neon as the internal standard are discussed. Preliminary analyses of granites and basalts indicate the following: All analyses lie in the H2O-CO2-CO triangle on a C-H-O ternary diagram. The compositions of the volatiles plot in distinct, but overlapping, areas of the C-H-O diagram. Pre-Cambrian granites have a higher volatile content than younger granites. Continental basalts have a higher volatile content than oceanic basalts.

Thermodynamic Equilibrium in the Origin of Organic Matter
Theoretical and experimental support is presented for the hypothesis that organic compounds occurring in carbonaceous chondrites may have formed under equilibrium or near equilibrium conditions. The equilibrium distributions of organic compounds at temperature between 300 and 1000 K and pressures of 10(exp 16) to 50 atmospheres for the C-H-O system have been computed. At high temperatures and low pressures aromatic compounds may form even in the presence of excess hydrogen. Equilibrium concentrations of numerous compounds possible at 1000 K when N, S, and C1 are added to the system have also been determined. A limited equilibrium method is employed in which those few compounds which form with most difficulty are excluded from the computations. This approach is shown to be useful in the interpretation of certain experimental data. In preliminary experiments it has been found that gases, converted to the plasma state by high energy radio frequency discharge, yield product mixtures which are in qualitative agreement with those predicted.
