An outline of new calculation methods for the determination of both thermodynamic and kinetic parameters from isothermal heat conduction microcalorimetry

An outline of equations allowing calculation, from calorimetric data, of both thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for reactions which proceed to completion is given. In addition equilibrium constants are calculable for reactions which proceed to an equilibrium position. Advantages of the methods for solid state kinetic and stability studies are briefly discussed.
