Abstract
The thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate in the presence of potassium chloride and chromium (III) oxide was investigated using K36 Cl and51 Cr2 O3 to elucidate the reaction mechanism. Two simultaneous routes are suggested for the decomposition. It was found that double decomposition in vacuo between potassium chloride and ammonium perchlorate does not result in the formation of potassium perchlorate. Chromium (III) oxide was not oxidized by ammonium perchlorate, but oxidation to the hexavalent state took place when potassium chloride was present.
