Kinetic Parameters from TG Analysis of Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ Complexes

Abstract

Kinetics of thermal decompositions of pyridine and morpholine complexesof Co²⁺ , Ni²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions have been studied. Kinetic parameters,viz., apparent activation energy, frequency factor, activation entropy andapparent order of reaction have been determined using the graphicalmethod of Freeman and Carrol and results were compared by Coats-Redfernmethod. It was found that the data by both the methods are ingood agreement.
