Abstract
AbstractThe effective activation energies of crystal growth on the faces (100) of KCl, KBr, and KI crystals in water solutions have been determined. The values obtained have been compared with the respective crystal lattice energies according to Sletter and Mayer, as well as with the experimental ones. The activation energies of crystal growth are in strictest linear dependence on the heats of dehydration of the ions. This shows that the dehydration of the ions is most probably the rate‐controlling stage of the process of crystal growth in solutions. This concept is supported by the results of an experimental study of the rates of growth on the faces (111) and (100) of NaClO3 crystals.
