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 gas phase reaction of hydrogen atoms with carbon suboxide was studied over the temperature range of−96 to 235 °C and was found to proceed via a chain reaction. The products found were CH4, CO, CH2CO, C2H6, (CHO)2, and polymer. A mechanism is proposed and the chain reaction is explained by the intermediate formation of ketene and the formyl radical.

The gas-phase reaction of O3 with CCl2CH2 at 25 °C was studied by monitoring O3 consumption by ultraviolet absorption and product formation and olefin consumption by infrared absorption. In the absence or presence of excess N2, and for initial olefin-to-O3 ratios, [CCl2CH2]0/[O3]0, in excess of 20 ([O3]0 ~ 1.0 Torr), the rate law is[Formula: see text]with k = 2.4 × 106 M−2 s−1. At lower olefin-to-O3 ratios, the rate is initially more rapid than predicted by the above equation, but follows the equation after the reaction has proceeded for some time. In the presence of excess O2, the rate is markedly reduced, and the rate law becomes[Formula: see text]with k′ = 2.2 M−1 s−1.The products of the reaction are CCl2O, HCOOH, CH2ClCCl(O), CO, O2, HCl, and presumably H2O. In the absence of O2, the CCl2CH2-to-O3 consumption ratio approaches 2, but the CCl2O produced per O3 consumed is between 0.25 and 0.4. With excess O2, the latter ratio becomes unity, but the CCl2CH2-to-O3 consumed approaches 5.The results are interpreted in terms of a chain mechanism with CCl2O2 as the chain carrier. The mechanism developed explains the main features of the reaction.

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.

The slow combustion of ketene in the gas phase was studied by the static method in a 30 × 4 cm Vycor cylinder between 280 and 500 °C at pressures above 20 mm Hg. Extending the work of Barnard and Kirschner, we have established the existence of two types of slow combustion of ketene corresponding to two temperature ranges. In this first paper, we describe the kinetic and analytical results obtained in the higher temperature range (380–500 °C). The reaction is autocatalytic and shows a low temperature coefficient corresponding to a few kilocalories per mole. The main products are carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, water, and carbon dioxide. No ethylene was detected. We suggest a chain reaction in which formaldehyde is the intermediate responsible for degenerate branching:[Formula: see text]
