The room temperature reaction of acetylene with atomic oxygen has been studied in a moderately fast flow system.The course of the reaction was followedusing both the Bendix T.O.F° Mass Spectrometer and a photometrio method.The major products of the reaction were carbon monoxide and hydrogen.Large amounts of atomic hydrogen were also observed.The following reaction scheme is consistent with our results :1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
