A discharge flow reactor with mass spectrometric detection has been used to determine the fractional yield of ethoxy, Y(EtO), from the reaction of F(2P) with C~D S O H . The chemical titration method that was used depends only upon the occurrence of the fast chain reaction, F2 + C2D40H -C2D40H + F, and the ability to measure relative concentrations of ethoxy radical. Ethoxy concentration was proportional to the detected ion count signal a t m/z 50.[Ethoxy] was titrated to an asymptote with a large excess of F2. The titration removes hydroxyethyl radicals and regenerates F so that, a t the asymptote, each F initially present will have formed one ethoxy radical. The experimental value of Y(Et0) is the ratio of the m / z 50 signal in the absence of F2 to the signal in the presence of F2. The measured values of Y(Et0) f ( l a ) are 0.62 f 0.08 a t 223 K, 0.55 f 0.06 a t 300 K, and 0.39 f 0.02 a t 423 K. An Arrhenius analysis of these data implies that the average activation energy for abstraction a t a C-D bond is about 1 kcal/mol larger than that for abstraction at the 0-H bond. The activation energy for attack a t 0-H is likely to be near zero. Allowing F(2P) to react with large excesses of ethanol and F2 provides a good clean source of ethoxy radical.
