Popis: Mass spectrometric Knudsen effusion experiments have provided evidence for the existence of the suboxide species Be2O(g) in the equilibrium vapor above crystalline beryllium oxide at temperatures around 2300°K. Be2O+ ions appear to be formed both by simple ionization of Be2O(g) and by fragmentation of a larger molecule. The relative importance of the two processes has been shown to be temperature dependent. An average value of —8±10 kcal/mole was obtained for ΔHf°298[Be2O(g)] from third‐law calculations for three equilibria.Mass spectral data are given for the equilibrium vapor above beryllium oxide at 2380°K in the presence of tungsten.
