In the present mass spectroscopy and electron diffraction study of the evaporation of H2O-CO ice, in which at 10 K approximately half of the amorphous CO is adsorbed on amorphous H2O while the residual CO portion is included in the H2O as an impurity, notes the amorphous CO to crystallize into alpha-CO upon warming to 23 K. CO adsorbed on the surface of amorphous H2O evaporated at 30-45 K. At 143 K, amorphous H2O is transformed into ice and the residual CO evaporates completely. Attention is given to the implications of these experimental results for the condensation of CO in interstellar molecular clouds, as well as for the evaporation of H2O-CO ice in the primordial solar nebula.
