Why this differs from similar rows?

Model 1 fit: thermal expansivity fitted to Anderson's (1998) data (Eq. 14); sibling row (Model 2) uses a different dataset (Funamori et al. 1996, Eq. 20), giving a different K0.

Evidence from the paper

The parameters at 300 K are: a = 1.1 x 10^-5, K0 (bulk modulus) = 261 GPa, K0' = 4 and (dK/dT)P = -0.027. ... Table 2. Data calculated using Model 1: T=300.00, KT=260.51 GPa, V(mol)=24.45 cm3. Model 1 employs Equations 14 and 17.
