Abstract

In an attempt to show the importance of preparing extensively teaching materials for comprehensive education in thermal analysis at an undergraduate level, the significance of the teaching materials concerning the thermal analysis and kinetics of the solid-state reactions is discussed by reviewing our teaching activities at Hiroshima University. Application of the thermoanalytical techniques to thermal decomposition of basic copper(II) salts is appropriate for an introductory experiment to thermal analysis. Microscopic observations of the textural change during the thermal dehydration of inorganic salt hydrates are suitable for introducing the kinetics of solid-state reactions. A computer practice of drawing the experimental master plot enables students to understand the kinetic theory.
