Microwave reaction and chemisty ?
« on: February 16, 2010, 05:53:36 AM »
just curious

I am an electronics engineer and ChemNut OfCourse ,....

I was pondering the following scenario..

Imagine a testube constructed as part of a klystron or magnatron ( depending on the frequency needed )
and for this case we will imagine ammonia nitrate..

at its's resonant frequency ....


what would it do ?

explode or produce nitrous oxide ?


EDIT

really I bet  there is a sweet spot of " linear region " Between the two

I.E. as you neared perfect resonance and energy It probobly would explode
and down the curve  you could make gas perhaps ????

Ammonia heats up so quickly under the presence of a magnetron I would expect an explosion if from nothing else the rapid heating of the sample. Do this for a test, place a small amount of OTC ammonia hydroxide in the MW for about 2 or 3 seconds and measure the temperature of the solution. It will give you an idea of what im talking about. Insain amount of heat FAST.
