• Brand: Biosynth

Description

Zirconium oxynitrate hydrate is a chemical compound that is soluble in water. It has a low melting point, and decomposes at temperatures above 500°C. Zirconium oxynitrate hydrate is an exothermic material, which means it releases heat when it decomposes. When zirconium oxynitrate hydrate reacts with hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate, it produces nitrogen gas, chloride ions and zirconium oxide particles. The reaction requires activation energy to start. The activation energy for the reaction can be calculated using the Arrhenius equation: Ea = A exp(-A/RT) where A is the frequency factor (1/2 for first order reactions), R is the gas constant (8.314 J mol-1 K-1), T is temperature (K) and A is the pre-exponential factor (0.001).
