Abstract
The specific heats of palladium and sodium were measured between helium and hydrogen temperatures, the specific heats of mercury between helium and liquid air temperatures. Palladium shows a very high electronic term of the specific heat. Sodium exhibits anomalous behaviour in various respects. In the case of mercury a search was made for a transition at low temperatures predicted by Bridgman, but no indication was found.
The thermodynamic functions of the three metals between absolute zero and room temperature are given in tables.
