The thermal behavior of ammonium acetate, nitrate and chloride were investi
gated. The dependences between Eyring parameters for particular salts were
determined. The dependence of Gibbs free energy of activation on decomposit
ion temperature was calculated. The values of maximum of transformation rat
e were compared with energies of chemical bonds between ions. (C) 2001 Else
