Zinc carbonate, decomposition

Decomposition of ZnCOj has been described [60,61] as occurring at an advancing interface (f, = 96 kJ mol ) and the kinetic parameters were dependent on the COj pressure. The reaction of basic zinc carbonate (2ZnC03.3Zn(0H)2.H20) is believed to produce both CO2 and H2O at the same interface and to form no intermediates during decomposition. Wiedemann et al. [62] determined activation energies for the decomposition of Zn5(0H)j(C03)2 under dry and moist conditions by... 

Consideration of the Raman spectra of zinc composites after UV exposure confirms their decomposition, in particular, the appearance of zinc carbonate ZnC03 (Fig. 5). 

The decomposition of zinc carbonate, ZnC03(s), info zinc oxide, ZnO(s), and C02(g) at constant pressure requires the addition of 71.5 kJ of heat per mole of ZnC03. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the reaction, (b) Draw an enthalpy diagram for the reaction. 

The quinone forms of a-, P-, and y-tocopherol have also been chromatographed on silica gel together with plastoquinones and various plant prenylquinones (61). A mixed sorbent consisting of alumina-zinc carbonate has been used for the TLC separation of various oxidized decomposition products of tocopherols (61). 

We can see how increasing the temperature affects the ability of zinc carbonate to undergo thermal decomposition by comparing the entropy changes at 298 K and 550 K. However, we have to take into account both the surroundings and the system. We assume that neither the standard molar entropies nor the enthalpy change of formation change with temperature.

Absolutely different situation occurs in case of polycrystalline semiconductors obtained under vacuum conditions. Thus, in paper [30] three types of ZnO samples were studied ZnO 1 obtained during heating of carbonates containing zinc in air at 600 C ZnO 2 obtained through vacuum decomposition of carbonate followed by heating at 500°C ZnO 3 powder of spectrally pure zinc oxide.

In a review of the course and mechanism of the catalytic decomposition of ammonium perchlorate, the considerable effects of metal oxides in reducing the explosion temperature of the salt are described [1], Solymosi s previous work had shown reductions from 440° to about 270° by dichromium trioxide, to 260° by 10 mol% of cadmium oxide and to 200°C by 0.2% of zinc oxide. The effect of various concentrations of copper chromite , copper oxide, iron oxide and potassium permanganate on the catalysed combustion of the propellant salt was studied [2], Similar studies on the effects of compounds of 11 metals and potassium dichromate in particular, have been reported [3], Presence of calcium carbonate or calcium oxide has a stabilising effect on the salt, either alone or in admixture with polystyrene [4],... 

Aziridines have been synthesized, albeit in low yield, by copper-catalyzed decomposition of ethyl diazoacetate in the presence of an inline 260). It seems that such a carbenoid cyclopropanation reaction has not been realized with other diazo compounds. The recently described preparation of 1,2,3-trisubstituted aziridines by reaction of phenyldiazomethane with N-alkyl aldimines or ketimines in the presence of zinc iodide 261 > most certainly does not proceed through carbenoid intermediates rather, the metal salt serves to activate the imine to nucleophilic attack from the diazo carbon. Replacement of Znl2 by one of the traditional copper catalysts resulted in formation of imidazoline derivatives via an intermediate azomethine ylide261).

Catalysts suitable specifically for reduction of carbon-oxygen bonds are based on oxides of copper, zinc and chromium Adkins catalysts). The so-called copper chromite (which is not necessarily a stoichiometric compound) is prepared by thermal decomposition of ammonium chromate and copper nitrate [50]. Its activity and stability is improved if barium nitrate is added before the thermal decomposition [57]. Similarly prepared zinc chromite is suitable for reductions of unsaturated acids and esters to unsaturated alcohols [52]. These catalysts are used specifically for reduction of carbonyl- and carboxyl-containing compounds to alcohols. Aldehydes and ketones are reduced at 150-200° and 100-150 atm, whereas esters and acids require temperatures up to 300° and pressures up to 350 atm. Because such conditions require special equipment and because all reductions achievable with copper chromite catalysts can be accomplished by hydrides and complex hydrides the use of Adkins catalyst in the laboratory is very limited. 

In an atmosphere of nitric oxide, thermal decomposition produces barium nitrite, Ba(N02)2. Reactions with soluble metal sulfates or sulfuric acid yield barium sulfate. Many insoluble barium salts, such as the carbonate, oxalate and phosphate of the metal, are precipitated by similar double decomposition reactions. Ba(N03)2 is an oxidizer and reacts vigorously with common reducing agents. The solid powder, when mixed with many other metals such as aluminum or zinc in their finely divided form, or combined with alloys such as...
