MC: remember to look at the DSC scan in Fig. 7. NaH goes strongly
exothermic
all by itself in an He atmosphere.
Why, instead of "all by itself" is this not evidence that Helium is a
catalyst?
Helium is *not* a catalyst, it happens to be a chemically inactive good heat
transfer medium. He+ is a catalyst, ionized by electric fields in some
experiments. The DSC is a sophisticated Calvet calorimeter system which does
not ionize He.
