The sound velocity in gaseous pentafluoroethane (HFC-125, CF{sub 3}CHF{sub 2}) has been measured by means of a spherical acoustic resonator. Seventy-two sound-velocity values were measured with an uncertainty of {plus_minus}0.01% at temperatures form 273 to 343 K and pressures form 10 to 250 kPa. The ideal-gas specific heats and the second acoustic-virial coefficients have been determined on the basis of the sound-velocity measurements. The second virial coefficients calculated from the present sound-velocity measurements agree with literature values which were determined from PVT measurements by means of a Burnett method.
