Thermochemical Analysis of the Composition of the Primary Products

Abstract

Starting in 1981 [1], L’vov and his colleagues tried to interpret the experimental parameter E in the Arrhenius equation as the molar enthalpy, ΔrH◦T /ν, of the desired decomposition reaction. However, it did not affect the traditional interpretation of the parameter E. One of the potential reasons for mistrust of this approach could be due to the unreliability of E values measured by the traditional Arrhenius plot method. As an illustration, a comment by Vyazovkin [2] can be quoted: “The comparison of theoretical values of the activation energy with the experimental ones may itself present a considerable challenge as the reported values tend to be widely different.”
