Thermal expansion and decomposition of ‘normal’ ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3·H2O
Abstract: Ordinary ammonium carbonate, amongst all of the compounds in the H2O-CO2-NH3 ternary system, remains the least well characterized. Indeed, we only solved the structure of ammonium carbonate monohydrate earlier this year using data collected on SXD. These three volatiles are the most abundant species in the outer Solar System, so compounds occuring in this system are of special interest to planetary scientists, particularly insofar as they control partial melting and freezing in cryovolcanic systems. In other words, compounds such as ammonium carbonate may influence the outgassing of volatiles from planetary interiors to planetary atmospheres. Having determined the structure, we propose now to measure the thermal expansion along with complementary in situ measurements of the Raman spectrum.
