Abstract
The total vapor pressure of graphite is calculated as a function of temperature to the harmonic oscillator‐rigid rotator approximation. It is assumed that three species (C1, C2, and C3) are present in the gas. The C1 atoms are most prominent in the mixture. C3 molecules are relatively more abundant than C2 diatoms. The heats of sublimation of the various carbon species are discussed.
