Abstract
The thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate has been studied by DTA. It has been shown that the application of the first order kinetic equation provides a convenient quantitative description of the DTA curves. The influence of particle size, dilution, rate of heating and the size of the sample holder has been examined.
