CONCERNING THE PROBLEM OF THE DECOMPOSITION MECHANISM OF AMMONIUM PERCHLORATE,
Abstract
Bircumshaw established, in the course of microscopic observations of partially decomposing crystals, that the process of decomposition develops at discrete nuclei. An accurate numerical study of the kinetics of the formation, size, and development of the nuclei appears to be of significant interest for the purpose of determining the reaction mechanism in the single crystals of ammonium perchlorate. In connection with this, microcinematography of the decomposition process was conducted on the single crystals of ammonium perchlorate. In addition to the microscopic observations, kinetic curves of the thermal decomposition were plotted for the single crystals, NH4ClO4 'in air', relative to weight loss.
