Under the proper conditions of temperature and water vapour pressure the freshly dehydrated anhydride rehydrates readily and completely to the dihydrate. Rehydration against time curves have been obtained for anhydrides prepared from the dihydrate which was in the form of individual single crystals, crystalline powder, ground powder and reactor-irradiated powder. The pressure, time and temperature dependences of the rehydration process have been determined. The extent of rehydration is described by a square-root dependence on time. This suggests that the rehydration is diffusion-controlled. The rate of rehydration increases markedly with pressure. Below a supersaturation ratio of approximately 10, rehydration does not occur; rather there is an appreciable sorption. The rate of sorption is diffusion-controlled with an energy of activation for diffusion of 12.0 kcal /mol.

The depression of the melting point of tetryl caused by pre-heating the solids is used together with literature data ((i) relating the melting point depression with the amount of gas produced during decomposition, and (ii) for the amount of gas produced on complete decomposition) to calculate first-order rate constants for decomposition in the region of the solid→liquid transition. The results indicate a “premonitory” effect at temperatures below the melting point. With the exception of RDX (apparent Ea= 45.2±0.4 kcal mol–1) the apparent activation energies for de-composition of the nitramines tend to be unrealistically high. DDCHX, DDCHP and TNOHX show plastic crystal behaviour and may be classified as “globular” molecules; the absence of this type of behaviour with DDCP and RDX is discussed in terms of factors affecting molecular rotation in the solid state.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"556-562"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716700556","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57614881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of adsorbed Cu on the oxidation rate of HCOOH has been examined at + 0.60 V (RHE). Cu2+ adsorption is controlled largely by an activation process. The slow step in the process is apparently the discharge of Cu2+ at the electrode to Cu+. Desorption of a preadsorbed Cu layer (+0.40 V) is extremely rapid at potentials+ 0.70 V, where no Cu2+ adsorption is normally found. Analysis of the oxidation state of the adsorbing layer by charge and coverage measurements yields a value of 1.92 electrons/site. This indicates that the major part of the layer is Cuads attached to a single Pt surface site. The rate of adsorption of Cu2+ is decreased slightly in the presence of 0.1 M HCOOH. At low coverages (θCuads⩽0.19), a slight enhancement of the HCOOH oxidation rate is observed at +0.60 V. Above this coverage, the oxidation process is inhibited. Results are interpreted in terms of Cu2+ adsorption mechanisms on Pt and the effect of the adsorbed layer on the mechanisms of HCOOH electro-oxidation on Pt.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"809-818"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716700809","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57616462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
