FUSED SODIUM HYDROXIDE. Progress Report, June 1, 1957-June 1, 1958
Measurements of the rate of decomposition of perchiorate ion at 330 to 400 deg C in fused sodium hydroxide are reported. The decomposition is found to be first order with an activation energy of 60 k cal per mole. The rate is not altered by addition of KCl. Na/sub 2/CO/sub 3/, Al, or Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/; MgO retards the reaction. The disproportionation of iodate to iodide and periodate in fused NaOH is reported. Iodide is oxidized to periodate in fused NaOH by atomsphere oxygen. Silver chloride is decomposed to silver in fused NaOH and silver iodide partly decomposed. In the KOH-NaOH system a eutectic is found at 170 deg C and 40 wt.% NaOH. Solid solubility is very slight. (auth)
