I 2 is a purple gas. Ammonium nitrate decomposition can be set off if an explosion occurs where it’s stored, if there is an intense fire nearby. ∆ fus H°: Enthalpy of fusion at standard conditions (kJ/mol). The agreement between theoretical and experimental results allows an understanding of the thermal decomposition behaviours of the two sodium salts when exposed to ammonium nitrate. Additionally, a matrix is needed to act as a heat conveyor in the presence of sufficient heat. stream The decomposition temperature of pure ammonium nitrate is 170 °C, but recently Gunawan and Zhang calculated that an intimate mixture of ammonium nitrate and pyrite can decompose at temperatures as low as 50 °C in blast holes more than 0.2 m in diameter. ...Ammonium nitrate on heating decomposes to give nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and water. Any contaminated material (for example from broken bags) must be safely disposed of, immediately. [ 4 ], and was also used for the initial development of high-accuracy ANLn composite electronic structure methods [ 5 ]. /Info 16 0 R /Root 15 0 R /Size 21 >> 5 0 obj endobj Answer. Evidently, ammonium nitrate under fire exposure is now a well-established explosion hazard and has been responsible for some of the greatest industrial accidents to date. sulphites). Of these, confinement stands out as a crucial determinant – elevated pressure increases gas-solid phase interactions under decomposition, promoting exothermic behavior, even for pure AN. Decomposition creates toxic gases containing ammonia and nitrogen oxides. heat. 10.6 Hazardous decomposition products Polymerization is not expected to occur. Ammonium nitrate decomposition can be set off if an explosion occurs where it's stored, if there is an intense fire nearby. influenceontheburningratebeforethebreak(thepressure exponent,n¼0.85–0.95),andaweakerdependenceafterit (n¼0.5–0.6). << /Contents 18 0 R /MediaBox [ 0 0 595.2756 841.8898 ] /Parent 17 0 R /Resources << /Font 1 0 R /ProcSet [ /PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI ] /XObject << /FormXob.139da950ed9132dfcb7a9723f6c97d91 4 0 R >> >> /Rotate 0 /Trans << >> The kinetic regularities of the decomposition in the temperature range 70–150°C are established. From the following balanced equation that describes decomposition of ammonium nitrate, determine/calculate the standard heat of the reaction using the appropriate enthalpies of formation. At relatively low temperatures, the process proceeds by a two-stage mechanism with corresponding acceleration at each stage. This will help us to improve better.

The decomposition reactions have a complex nature, thus reducing the predictability of the hazardous properties of a fertiliser. Ammonium nitrate is a strong oxidizer. I am totally clueless on enthalpy. 1, 2] enthalpy of formation based on version 1.118 of the Thermochemical Network This version of ATcT results was partially described in Ruscic et al. The decomposition products of ammonium nitrate can vary, but the chemical nature of this reaction is not necessary for our calculations. CATALYST SCREENING FOR AMMONIUM NITRATE OXIDIZER 1.3 Ammonium nitrate dissociation and decomposition The AN is highly stable, featuring a high temperature of reaction onset (onset at 260 C). 0000004472 00000 n Heating also poses a danger: ammonium nitrate decomposes at around 230˚C, and can explode when heated to between 260–300˚C if it’s confined. Because solid ammonium nitrate can undergo explosive decomposition when heated in a confined space, government regulations have been imposed on its shipment and storage. If you gently heat ammonium nitrate that has dissolved in water, the solution breaks down to release nitrous oxide, commonly called laughing gas. May emit toxic vapors of NOx and NH 3 when heated to decomposition. When heated it will melt, decompose and release toxic gases including nitrogen oxides (NO x) and ammonia gas (NH 3). Notice that the enthalpies can be either positive or negative. Ammonium Nitrate ABN: 81 008 668 371 CSBP-IF1875 Version No. Accordingly, the investigative literature on AN thermolysis is immense, of which this review endeavors to present a comprehensive and contemporary compilation. 0000000000 65535 f Ammonium nitrate decomposes in temperatures above 210 °C (410 °F).

MEDIUM. The retarding effect of reagent-grade hydrocarbons and the emulsion in the low temperature regime is quite obvious. 8079 Both neat AN and AN containing various contaminants are examined, however quantitative kinetics results are not encompassed. But HI is not stable to heat.

Heat, fire and combustion. 11.0 ... because of the in situ provision of oxygen from the ammonium nitrate itself. Upvote(0) How satisfied are you with the answer? Evidently, ammonium nitrate under fire exposure is now a well-established explosion hazard and has been responsible for some of the greatest industrial accidents to date. %%EOF. endobj Ammonium nitrate has been used for centuries in warfare, but is also a mainstay of commercial nitrogenous fertilizers. (c) State and explain whether the decomposition of ammonium nitrate is an exother-mic or endothermic reaction. However, it will support and increase the rate of combustion in the presence of flammable or combustible materials even in the absence of oxygen. May evolve toxic gases if heated to decomposition. Avoid heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. The decomposition process is exothermic (heat is released) and is accompanied by the production of copious quantities of fumes containing water vapour and … << /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceRGB /Filter [ /ASCII85Decode /FlateDecode ] /Height 250 /Length 1553 /Mask [ 250 255 250 255 250 255 ] << /BaseFont /Helvetica-Bold /Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding /Name /F2 /Subtype /Type1 /Type /Font >> 1 0 obj << /Outlines 20 0 R /PageMode /UseNone /Pages 17 0 R /Type /Catalog >> 0 21 The overall enthalpy of the reaction is –36 kilojoules, which means that the decomposition of 1 mole of ammonium nitrate releases 36 kJ of heat. Moreover, this study highlighted the critical role of the water that appears to promote the incompatibility between ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrite. You may associate ammonium nitrate with explosives; it's commonly used in safety explosives and pyrotechnics as well as fertilizer. 16 0 obj 0000002383 00000 n The mechanism of the decomposition of ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) and of ammonium nitrate (AN) emulsions has been investigated. endobj 14 0 obj 18 0 obj at ~23% ammonium nitrate decomposition; and at 230oC at 14%. /Type /Page >> 0000003276 00000 n xref Ammonium Nitrate-Based Energetic Materials S.

Molten aluminium contacting either a water source or molten ammonium nitrate causing a violent reaction. Both neat AN and AN containing various contaminants are examined, however quantitative kinetics results are not encompassed. sustaining) decomposition that can spread throughout the mass to give substantial toxic fumes, even when the initial heat source is removed.
