THE EFFECT OF A FOREIGN SUBSTANCE ON THE TRANSITION: NH4NO3IVNH4NO3 III
Keyword(s):
It is shown that the above transition can be repressed (metastably) by using in place of pure ammonium nitrate a solid solution of potassium nitrate in ammonium nitrate. With such a solid solution containing 8 to 10% potassium nitrate, the temperature of the transition III → IV is depressed to about −20 °C. Such solid solutions can be prepared either by fusing the components together or by crystallizing from a mixed aqueous solution.
