The specific heat capacity (C-p) of six variably hydrated (similar to 3.5 wt% H2O) iron-bearing Etna trachybasaltic glasses and liquids has been measured using differential scanning calorimetry from room temperature across the glass transition region. These data are compared to heat capacity measurements on thirteen melt compositions in the iron-free anorthite (An)-diopside (Di) system over a similar range of H2O contents. These data extend considerably the published C-p measurements for hydrous melts and glasses. The results for the Etna trachybasalts show nonlinear variations in, both, the heat capacity of the glass at the onset of the glass transition (i.e., C-p(g)) and the fully relaxed liquid (i.e., C-p(l)) with increasing H2O content. Similarly, the "configurational heat capacity" (i.e., C-p(c) = C-p(l) - C-p(g)) varies nonlinearly with H2O content. The An-Di hydrous compositions investigated show similar trends, with C-p values varying as a function of melt composition and H2O content. The results show that values in hydrous C-p(g), C-p(l) and C-p(c) in the depolymerized glasses and liquids are substantially different from those observed for more polymerized hydrous albitic, leucogranitic, trachytic and phonolitic multicomponent compositions previously investigated. Polymerized melts have lower C-p(l) and C-p(c) and higher C-p(g) with respect to more depolymerized compositions. The covariation between C-p values and the degree of polymerization in glasses and melts is well described in terms of SMhydrous and NBO/T-hydrous. Values of C-p(c) increase sharply with increasing depolymerization up to SMhydrous similar to 30-35 mol% (NBO/T-hydrous similar to 0.5) and then stabilize to an almost constant value. The partial molar heat capacity of H2O for both glasses (C-p(H2O)g) and liquids (C-p(l) (H2O)) appears to be independent of composition and, assuming ideal mixing, we obtain a value for C-p(l) (H2O) of 79 J mol(-1) K-1. However, we note that a range of values for C-p(H2O)l (i.e., similar to 78-87 J mol(-1) K-1) proposed by previous workers will reproduce the extended data to within experimental uncertainty. Our analysis suggests that more data are required in order to ascribe a compositional dependence (i.e., nonideal mixing) to C-p(l) (H2O).
