Abstract
The thermal decomposition of ammonium oxalate monohydrate is investigated in the temperature range 105 – 130°C and found to be a case of incomplete decomposition. The activation energy is found to be 21.04 kcal. mole −1. The effects of precompression, doping with PO 4 3− and Cl − ions, particle size and aging on the thermal decomposition are also studied. The product gases are identified as NH 3, CO, CO 2 and H 2O by mass spectrometric analysis. On the basis of the results obtained a proton-transfer mechanism is suggested for the decomposition reaction.
