The thermal decomposition of anhydrous Ce(NO3) 3 has been studied. The thermal decomposition reaction is described by the second order kinetic equation, [1/(1 -~t)]-1 = kt.The apparent activation energy was determined as E a = 104 kJ mol-~ while the enthalpy of the reaction was estimated as All, = 111.1 kJ tool-1. The decomposition reaction differs from that observed for Nd(NO3) 3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
