Title: KBF4 heat decomposition
Post by: aadams on February 02, 2017, 08:05:35 AM

Hello,

I am trying to figure out the results of a flame test for KBF4 and the reaction between the resulting fumes and ammonia gas.

this is what i think will happen:

KBF4--> KF + BF3 (white fumes)

then BF3 + NH3 --> BF3NH3

thoughts?
