The objective of this study was to determine the heat capacity and heat of dissociation of methane hydrates. A technique has been devised which circumvents the two major problems encountered in measuring gas hydrate heat capacity: the need to impose a mechanical pressure during the measurement and the need to have an absolutely pure hydrate sample. The technique was shown to be successful utilizing high‐pressure, constant‐volume cells in a differential scanning calorimeter.
