Equilibrium pressures for the reaction 1/2Be2C(s) = Be(g) + 1/ 2C(s) were measured in the temperature range of from 1430 to 1669°K, using the Kaudsen technique. The dissociation pressure in this temperature range is given by the equation Log P(atm) = $$7.026 ± 0.347\frac{-(19,720 ± 537)}{T}$$. The heat and free energy of formation of beryllium carbide were derived from the aforementioned equation in combination with the literature vapor pressure data for solid beryllium.
