Abstract
In this work the scheme of the decomposition of alkaline metals solutions in liquid ammonia is proposed. On the basis of this scheme and by the means of fundamental laws of reaction kinetics (Guldberg-Waage's law and the principle of superposition for partial reaction velocities) a system of differential equations describing the course of decomposition of the mentioned solutions is set up and solved. By means of the found solution and on the basis of experimental data the rate constant characterizing the dissociation of liquid ammonia is estimated.
Abstract
В работе предложена с хема разложения раст воров щелочных металлов в ж идком аммиаке. На основе схе мы с помощью основных законов реакционной кинетик и (закона Гульдберга-Ваага и пр инципа суперпозиции для парциальных скорост ей реакций) составлен а и решена система дифф еренциальных уравне ний, описывающих ход разл ожения указанных растворов. С помощью найденного решения на основе эксперимента льных данных оценивается п остоянная скорости, характеризующая дис социацию жидкого аммиака.
