Notes

The specific heat values, including isobaric specific heat (CpC_p) and isochoric specific heat (CvC_v), vary with temperature. At high temperatures above 1500 K, dissociation of oxygen gas becomes appreciable, making pressure a significant variable in specific heat calculations. The tabulated values apply to undissociated states.
