Combustion calorimetry of tetramethyllead was done by a rotating-bomb method. The experiments gave for the reaction (CH/sub 3/)/sub 4/Pb(liq) + 2HNO/sub 3/(in 40 H/sub 2/O) + 7.5 O/sub 2/(g) = Pb(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/(c) + 7 H/sub 2/O(liq) + 4 CO/sub 2/(g) the value ..delta..H/sup 0//sub 298/./sub 16/ = - 886.8 +- 0.3 kcal. The heat of vaporization was calculated from the results of vapor pressure measurements. Derived values for the heat of formation from graphite, hydrogen gas and lead metal, ..delta..Hf/sup 0//sub 298/./sub 16/, are 23.5 kcal. mole/sup -1/ for the liquid and 32.6 kcal. mole/sup -1/ for the gas.
