Abstract

Inorganic thermogravimetric analysis of hydrates of first-row transition metal salts revisited Inorganic thermogravimetric analysis of 26 hydrates of first-row transition metal chlorides, sulfates and nitrates were carried out using a shimadzu TGA-50. Thermograms and differential thermograms were recorded at temperatures between 20 and 1000 Celsius. Intermediates and products were identified and reported. Much of the work carried out in this study is a revisit of a work carried out before the 1960's. Eleven salts with unknown number of water molecules of hydration were also studied.

Comments

Master's thesis submitted to the faculty of Sacred Heart University's Chemistry Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Chemistry.
