ENERGY OF ACTIVATION OF THE DECOMPOSITION OF CELLULOSE NITRATE BY AN EFFUSION PROCESS

Abstract

The energy of activation of the decomposition of cellulose nitrate was determined by extending the effusion technique to the study of decomposition. This technique was also used to measure the vapor pressure of picric acid over a temperature range just below its melting point, and the heat of sublimation of picric acid was computed.
