Methane Heat Capacity Data and Analysis

This document contains heat capacity (Cp) data for methane at different temperatures (T) ranging from 298K to 1500K. A polynomial regression was performed to fit the Cp vs T data, resulting in an equation of the form Cp = a0 + a1T + a2T^2, with coefficients a0 = 13.4365, a1 = 0.079778, and a2 = -2.1223E-5. The regression achieved an R^2 value of 0.99498, indicating an excellent fit to the experimental data points.
