DISINTEGRATION of vitreous carbon exposed to potassium vapour is thought to result 1 from the enhancement—by the formation of intercalation compounds—of stresses already present in the structure.

If the reaction takes place at constant volume, no work is done and application of the first law indicates that the energy release, Q v, is the change in the internal energy of the system: Q v = (DU) ...
