Abstract
THE investigations of Andreev1 and Marke2 of the isothermal decomposition of calcium azide showed that the decomposition comprised a marked induction period followed by a period of acceleration where the exponential relationship: fitted to a limited extent. The decay period of the decomposition was considered to follow the unimolecular decay law: where pf is the final pressure.
