A Study of the Decomposition of Sodium Azide using Differential Thermal Analysis
Keyword(s):
Differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis of sodium azide diluted with sodium chloride both show one major peak followed by a second minor one. This is interpreted as indicating the occurrence of two distinct decomposition processes. The activation energy of the first, major process was 36 kcal/mol, which agrees with values reported previously from measurements of the rate of nitrogen evolution. Differential thermal analysis of sodium azide mixed with alumina was complicated by the presence of variable amounts of water adsorbed on the alumina. The presence of water was shown to have an inhibiting effect on the decomposition.
