Decomposition Temperature | AIChE

Decomposition Temperature

Temperature at which spontaneous decomposition occurs. In practice it is impossible to indicate the exact value of this temperature, because according to the Arrhenius law the reaction rate will only be zero at absolute zero temperature (0 K). Therefore, in measuring the decomposition temperature the sample quantity and the sensitivity of the measuring device is very important.
