PREVIOUS work on the decomposition of alpha-lead azide have been performed at temperatures close to its ignition temperature 1,2. The assumption has been made that the products of such decompositions ...

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of silver azide have been studied and the results found to fit a rate equation d(N2)/dt = k(AgN3)2/3. The energy of activation of the decomposition has been ...

PREVIOUS studies of the decomposition of barium azide have shown 1 that the reaction proceeds at the interface between the anhydrous azide and discrete nuclei of metallic barium formed on the surface.

Did you know that a really fast chemical reaction makes riding in a car safer? Most cars have airbags built into the dashboard and steering wheel that can blow up like super-fast balloons during a ...
