The peak area of differential thermal analysis curve is proportional to one or more of the followingA. mass lossB. mass of the sampleC. heat of decomposition / phase changeThe correct answer is:
(a)A only
(b)B only
(c)A and C
(d)B and C
Answer
Answer: D ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
The DTA peak area is proportional to the mass of the sample and to the enthalpy of the decomposition or phase change (B and C); it does not measure mass loss (that is TGA).
