Pressure Effect on the Interaction of Hydrogen Atoms with Ethyl Radicals

Abstract

Hydrogen atoms from the mercury photosensitized decomposition of hydrogen was aHowed to interact with ethylene. Product distributions of this interaction were analyzed with the FID-gas-chromatographic technique. Such distribution bas been used to interprete, based on a proposed mechanism, the pressure effect on the following chemically activated process:k, at 35°Cha5 been determined to be J.7x lOf secl from this observed pressure effect.
