The Decomposition of Solid Potassium Chlorate by X Rays

Journal Article · · Canadian Journal of Chemistry
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1139/v59-132· OSTI ID:4258911
Potassium chlorate irradiated with x rays was found to contain chlorides chlorite, hypochlorite, occluded oxygens dichlorine hexoxide, and a trace of chlorine dioxide. The chlorite and hypochlorite appear to decompose during irradiation to chloride. G values are given for 25 and -196 . They vary little with temperature or dose rate.
