Understanding how chromium trioxide volatilizes under different conditions
This nonfiction study examines the factors that influence the volatility of chromium trioxide. It presents a series of careful experiments to show how water content, temperature, pressure, and surface exposure affect how the oxide behaves when heated and decomposes.
The work describes exact methods to measure and compare volatilization, including how to remove water, control the atmosphere, and collect volatilized material. It also discusses how different setups can increase or limit the amount of CrO3 that vaporizes, and what this reveals about the chemical behavior of the oxide.
Ideal for readers of chemistry theses and researchers interested in solid-gas phase interactions and material volatility.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the previously uncharted phenomenon of chromium trioxide sublimation. The author begins by noting that despite earlier observations indicating the oxide could be sublimed, there existed no clarity or understanding of the circumstances surrounding its volatilization. They set out to isolate the factors influencing this process through a series of controlled experiments. Their findings demonstrate that anhydrous chromium trioxide sublimates just above its melting point, with the rate increasing rapidly before reaching a plateau where it proceeds at a slower rate. This slowdown coincides with the oxide solidifying due to oxygen loss. A rapid increase in sublimation occurs again at higher temperatures (dull red heat), with the last of the trioxide vaporizing only at bright red heat. These observations provide valuable insights into the behavior of chromium trioxide under varying conditions, expanding our understanding of its physical properties.
