Abstract:

The rate of decomposition of hydrazine on a supported iridium catalyst at 22C is a linear function of the concentration of hydrazine over the range 15-100 ww of hydrazine. The products of the reaction are nitrogen and ammonia and the overall decomposition may be represented by the equation 3N2H4 N2 4NH3. Author
