Manganese oxide formation by heat treatment of MnCO3 in air.
MnCO3 + ½ O2MnO2+CO2
<500 C Reaction 1
>500 C Reaction 2
2 MnCO3 + ½ O2Mn2O3 + 2 CO2
Note that in reaction 1, there is a net increaseOf ½ mole of gas for each mole of Mn, and for reaction 2 there is a net increase of ¾ of a mole of gas for each mole of Mn. What can you say about the entropy change in each reaction? How does this help explain the temperature dependence between the two reactions?

As the manganese oxide particles form from the carbonate salt, they begin to grow together, or ‘sinter’. The figure below is a TEM micrograph of neck formation during the
sintering of Mn2O3 particles.
Why do the necks get larger and the pores get smaller as the heat treat time and or temperature increases?

When we heat a powder pack of A powder + B powder to Tsint at the overall composition shown on the phase diagram, liquid fills the pores between the A particles. Why does the liquid spread to fill the pores?

How does the driving force for sintering of cylindrical particles differ from that for sintering of spherical particles?Why do the ends of the cylindrical particles blunt during sintering?
