Abstract
THE direct experimental values of the sublimation heat L of carbon obtained by several authors1 lie between 139 and 177 kcal. An accurate value can be deduced from the energy of dissociation DCO of CO into normal atoms, since the well-known relations (at 0°K.): lead to L = DCO 86.3 ± 0.2 kcal. (86.3 kcal. = 3.74 v.e.)(1)
