The molecular flow effusion method was employed to obtain second and third law heats of formation of BeF(g) from a study of the reaction BeF/sub 2/(g) + Be(s,l) = 2BeF(g) over the temperature range 1425 to 1675 deg K. The DELTA H of reaction was found to be 91.5 plus or minus 3.8 kcal/mole, while the corresponding entropy of reaction was found to be 44.3 plus or minus 2.4 cal/ deg/mole. Employing recent experimental data together with available thermal functions for the constituents, a value of -48.3 plus or minus 1.9 kcal/mole is obtained for DELTA H/sub f298/ BeF(g) and 51.1 plus or minus 1.2 cal/deg/mole for the S/sub 298/ BeF. The third law value for DELTA H/sub f298/ of BeF(g) was found to be -52.6 plus or minus 0.6 kcal/mole. (auth)
