The gas-phase reaction of atomic hydrogen with ketene has been investigated over a temperature range of −130° to 232 °C using a low-pressure, fast-flow system. In most cases methane, carbon monoxide, and ethane were the major products, but trace amounts of glyoxal were also detected. Above −96 °C. considerable evidence exists for the occurrence of a chain reaction carried by HCO radicals. The surface reaction at −196 °C produced methane and glyoxal predominantly with only a minor amount of carbon monoxide.

The rate constant for the homogeneous recombination of H atoms in the presence of NH3, with He as carrier gas, has been determined at 298°K in a fast flow system, over the pressure range 1.50 to 4.55 Torr, using e.s.r. technique. A value of either 4.00 × 1016 or 5.14 × 1016 cm6 mol−2 s−1 was calculated, depending upon the rate constant taken, or estimated, from the literature for the recombination in the presence of helium.

The combination–elimination reaction CH3 + CF3 → CH3CF3† → CH2CF2 + HF has been studied in a fast-flow system. Infrared chemiluminescence arising from the HF product has been observed from vibrational levels v = 1–4, and relative rate constants, k(v), have been obtained for HF formation in these levels. A study has also been made of the reaction CH2CF2 + Hg*(63P1) → CHCF + HF + Hg(61S0), which has been found to produce vibrationally-excited HF. Relative rate constants k(v) for vibrational levels v = 1–4 have been obtained. It appears that channelling of the potential energy into HF vibration, in the course of the elimination step, is more efficient in the first than in the second of these reactions. In the second reaction HF is eliminated with considerable rotational excitation.

The reaction of active nitrogen with ethanol has been investigated in the range 300 to 593 °K using a modified condensed-discharge Wood–Bonhoeffer fast-flow system. The only condensable products found in appreciable amounts were hydrogen cyanide and water. Hydrogen was the main noncondensable product. A very small amount of acetaldehyde was also formed along with traces of ethane, ethylene, methane, acetonitrile, cyanogen, and probably carbon monoxide. The overall activation energy is 3.4 kcal/mole. It is postulated that the mechanism consists of the formation of two fragments NC2H5 and OH, from which the condensable products result as follows:[Formula: see text]A number of products found in trace quantities are produced by concomitant reactions of the hydrogen atoms with methyl radicals, and with ethanol as well as by disproportionation of ethyl radicals to produce ethane and ethylene. A preliminary study of the reaction of active nitrogen with isopropanol indicated that the energy of activation is in line with the energies of activation of methanol and ethanol.

Chlorine monoxide (ClO) has been produced at temperatures near 315 K in a fast-flow system at total pressures (of argon diluent) in the range 1.0–2.0 mm Hg. The transmittance of ultraviolet radiation has been determined with a spectral resolution of 0.0054 nm for all 35ClO ν′–0 A2Π3/2 – X2Π3/2 sub-bands in the range 3 ≤ ν′ ≤ 12 (305.9–274.9 nm). The ClO column density obtained with 8 or 12 traversals of the radiation along an 80 cm cell was in the range 1.0–2.0 × 1017 cm−2.The experimental transmittance profiles for each sub-band have been reproduced closely by synthetic spectrum calculations. The parameters required as input to the programs were optimized by nonlinear least-squares techniques. The fitted (Lorentzian) linewidths are on average more than double those previously reported from visual estimates of linewidths on photographic plates. The fitted band strengths lead to a well-defined electronic transition moment variation for the A – X system of ClO, which is in excellent agreement with an earlier determination by Mandelman and Nicholls from spectra at lower resolution (0.22 nm) with unresolved rotational structure.

The oxidation of carbon monoxide in the presence of hydrogen can produce a single ignition pulse in a closed vessel and repetitive, i. e. oscillatory, ignition in an open system. It is possible to predict the locus of critical conditions on a map of reactant pressure, p , against vessel temperature, T a , in a flow system by a treatment based on the change in local stability of the stationary state. Even the very simplest kinetic model for the CO + H 2 + O 2 reaction allows satisfactory predictions of the dependence of the critical pressure on T a , and of the displacement of such p – T a peninsulae as the mixture composition (CO : H 2 ratio) is varied. Many of the results can be obtained in terms of simple algebraic expressions. The relation between this approach and classical treatments of criticality based on the unbounded growth of the steady-state radical concentration or on tangency conditions (chain–thermal theory) is investigated. Oscill­atory periods (the interval between successive ignition pulses) are calcu­lated, and the variation in the mean residence time arising from the change in the number of moles during reaction and the accompanying self-heating is discussed.
