Abstract

A clarification is given regarding recent polemic over our original published study. The author of this polemic has claimed a few issues about the computations and data listed in our work such as choosing the wrong temperature unit and the incorrect calculation of molar heat of vaporization. Here it is elaborated the complete data and computations that are not included in the original paper, and list out also the parameters, which may be the source of difference in reported molar heat of vaporization through inverse gas chromatography methods and other conventional methods. It is showed that there are no wrong calculations or reports of molar heat of vaporization in our published paper.
