Abstract
The kinetics of dehydration and rehydration of lead styphnate monohydrate have been studied as a function of the number of cycles of dehydration and rehydration. The activation energy for dehydration of a repeatedly dehydrated sample is 14.6 kcal/mole compared with 21.7 kcal/mole for the virgin hydrate. Mechanisms for these sorption and desorption phenomena are discussed.
