Kinetic study of the thermal decomposition of the compound of terbium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate and hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) employing both Zsakó's and nonlinear methods.

摘要

Terbium trifluoromethanesulfonate compoundwith hexamethylphosphoramide was synthesized andcharacterized. Thermogravimetric data with three heating rateswere used to obtain kinetic parameters such as activation energy(E_a), reaction order (n) and preexponential factor (k_0). Theresults obtained by two different methods, Zsakó's and anonlinear one, are compared.
