Description

Gamma-irradiation enhances the acceleratory rate of dehydration as well as decomposition of magnesium perchlorate. Activation energies computed using Arrhenius treatment decreased with rise in radiation dose prior to its thermal dehydration and decomposition. The reduction in the activation energies may be attributed to the strain and stress produced in voids of the samples of magnesium perchlorate due to irradiation. (author)
