Theory
This thesis covers 6 main areas. Please select one from the following:
- Bomb calorimetry
This covers the theory, maths and process of using a calorimeter. Includes details of the glass calorimeter. - Nitrogen triiodide and agar
A description of the composition and chemistry of agar and NI3 - Analytical techniques
Covers UV, IR and XRD - The use of sound as a detonator
A sound wave (at the correct frequency) is capable of detonating a sample. This part looks at the theory and maths behind it. - Determination of ammonia in the compound
NI3 is normally an adduct with ammonia, yet the amount of ammonia adducted is unclear. Using the method outlined here, a value can be obtained - Conversion to HTML of this thesis
