The speed of sound of the gaseous difluoromethane (HFC-32) and trifluoroiodomethane(CF3I) are measured with a cylindrical, variable-path acoustic interferometer operating at156.252 kHz. Temperatures ranged from 273.15 K to 333.15 K for both and pressures rangedfrom 48 kPa to 390 kPa for HFC-32 and from 58 to 276 kPa for CF3I, respectively Theuncertainty of the speed of sound was less than ±0.1%. The ideal-gas heat capacity atconstant pressure and the second acoustic virial coefficients for HFC-32 and CF3I werealso determined over the temperature range from the speed of sound measurements. Theideal-gas heat capacities at constant pressure and second virial coefficients calculated fromthese speed of sound measurements for both were compared with results from the literaturedetermined from PVT measurements and from speed of sound measurements, respectively.The uncertainty of the ideal-gas heat capacities at constant pressure were estimated to beless than ±1%.
