Ethane Formation

The acetaldehyde pyrolysis has been studied over the 480–540 °C temperature range, and at pressures from 1 to 560 mm Hg. Measurements were made of the rates of production of the major product methane and of the minor products hydrogen, ethane, acetone, and propionaldehyde. The kinetic effects of adding carbon dioxide, of changing the surface:volume ratio, and of coating the vessel have been determined. The elementary processes are found to occur largely in the gas phase. The dissociation of CH3CHO into CH3 + CHO is deduced from the rates of hydrogen and ethane formation; there is significant falling off of the rate constants at lower pressures. The kinetic parameters for the reaction CH3 + CH3CHO → CH4 + CH3CO are obtained, and it is suggested that quantum-mechanical tunnelling plays a role. Acetone production has an activation energy of 12.4 kcal/mole and it is concluded that its formation involves the participation of the isopropoxy radical, the activation energies being as indicated:[Formula: see text]

Homogeneous Decomposition

The thermal decomposition of methyl hydroperoxide has been studied in solution and in the gas phase. The decomposition was found to be partly heterogeneous in solution in dimethyl phthalate and no reliable rate constants were obtained. Use of the toluene carrier method for the gas phase work enabled measurement of the rate constant for the homogeneous decomposition. The first order rate constants obtained range from 0.19 s−1 at 292 °C to 1.5 s−1 at 378 °C, leading to log A, 11± 2, and activation energy, 32 ± 5 kcal/mole. These results are compared with the expected values of log A, 13–14, and activation energy, 42 kcal/mole. The significance of these findings is discussed.

Termination Process

The polymerization of vinyl chloride in the gas phase by X rays gives a solid polymer of 1140 average molecular weight. The G value of monomer disappearance varies from 100 to 400 and depends on pressure and temperature. From the measure of the rate of polymerization it was possible to deduce the activation energy of the chain propagation steps: 2.5 kcal/mole, and that of the hindered termination process: 7.4 kcal/mole. The negative temperature co-efficient of the polymerization is explained by the importance of this hindered termination process.

Ethyl N-methyl-N-phenylcarbamate decomposes in the gas phase over the range 329-380� to give N-methylaniline, carbon dioxide, and ethylene. The reaction is quantitative, and is first order in the carbamate. First-order rate constants are described by the equation ������������������� k1 = 1012.44 exp(-45,380/RT) (s-1) and are unaffected by the addition of cyclohexene or by increase in the surface to volume ratio of the reaction vessel. The reaction is considered to be unimolecular and likely to proceed by means of a mechanism of the type represented by the pyrolyses of acetates, xanthates, and carbonates.

Abstract The reaction of oxygen and CO to form CO2 has been investigated using an Ir (111) surface as an acting catalyst. Both instationary and stationary reaction processes have been established via separate gas exposing techniques. The instationary reaction process, achieved from coadsorbed CO and O which per se is an LH reaction is found to be controlled by an apparent activation energy of 10.7 kcal/mole. The stationary reaction with both CO and O2 continuously present in the gas phase has been simulated using a proper computer program, involving both LH and ER reaction steps. By comparison with experimental results, close agreement is found when ruling out any ER reaction step from the reaction path.

Abstract Vulcanization of natural rubber with sulfur was studied in presence of six sulfenamides, to determine the effect of the chemical constitution of the sulfenamide on sulfur decrease and on crosslinking. The results can be condensed as follows: (1) The kinetics of sulfur disappearance is in every respect qualitatively independent of the chemical constitution of the sulfenamide. (2) For the sulfenamides investigated, the smallest and largest rate constants for sulfur decrease differed only by a factor of two. (3) Greater differences are encountered in the induction times for sulfur decrease and for crosslinking. The latter are notably longer than those for sulfur disappearance. (4) The same activation energy, 23 kcal/mole, is derived from the temperature dependence of the induction times for all the sulfenamides. (5) The dissociation of sulfenamides in solution and their reaction with mercaptobenzothiazole were investigated further. The results provide the basis for a proposed reaction mechanism, which is presented in detail and can account for a number of the features typical of sulfenamide-accelerated vulcanization. (6) The drop in sulfur concentration goes at practically the same rate, if one introduces, instead of N, N-dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide, the corresponding ammonium mercaptide in equimolar concentration.

The abstraction of hydrogen/deuterium from CH3CHDCl by ground state chlorine atoms produced photolytically from Cl2 has been investigated at temperatures betwen 280 and 368 K. The relative rates for the internal competition[Formula: see text]are found to conform to an Arrhenius rate law:[Formula: see text]These data, taken together with the external competition results for the C2H5Cl/CH3CHDCl system, in conjunction with the competitive results using CH4 as a primary reference, have yielded the rate constants (cm3 s−1):[Formula: see text]The relatively weak primary kinetic isotope effect, kH/kD, decreases with increasing temperature from 1,855 at 280 K to 1.66 at 365 K. The results are compared with those obtained based on the BEBO method. While both the trend and the magnitude of the kinetic isotope effect are satisfactorily predicted, the activation energy is not.

Abstract 1. The decrease of free sulfur occurs according to the first order law during the vulcanization of natural rubber accelerated by mercaptobenzothiazole in the presence of zinc oxide. The activating energy for this reaction amounts to 30.5 kcal./mole. 2. If zinc benzothiazolylmercaptide is used as an accelerator, one obtains the same rate constants for the sulfur decrease as in the presence of mercaptobenzothiazole. These seem to be equivalent as regards their effectiveness of acceleration. 3. A kinetic analysis of the reciprocal swelling, which represents a measure of network formation, indicates that the reaction is first order. Sulfur decrease and reciprocal swelling prove to be equal processes as regards rate. This is true where vulcanization is accelerated with mercaptobenzothiazole or with the zinc salt. 4. During vulcanization there occurs a decrease of accelerator concentration. This is dependent upon the temperature and is tied in with the combination sulfur with rubber. 5. If the quantity of the accelerator added is changed, the rate constants for sulfur decrease and for reciprocal swelling do not change, provided that a minimum quantity of accelerator is present. 6. In vulcanization accelerated with zinc benzothiazolylmercaptide, zinc oxide being absent, sulfur decrease again occurs according to the first order law but considerably faster, without thereby changing the activation energy. These investigations are being continued and the results will be discussed in detail in relation to other published contributions in this field.

Photo Oxidation

The photo-oxidation of azomethane has been studied at low oxygen pressures (0.02 to 1 mm.) in the temperature range ca. 25 °C. to 161 °C. The primary process in the normal photolysis of azomethane is essentially unaffected by the presence of oxygen. Carbon monoxide is probably a secondary product of the oxidation of methyl radicals. Carbon dioxide formation is quite small, and therefore neither methyl radicals nor CH3N=N—CH2 radicals are oxidized appreciably to carbon dioxide. Nitrous oxide, which is a major product of the oxidation, is most likely formed from the oxidation of CH3N=NCH2 radicals. The suggested mechanism of N2O formation is:[Formula: see text] The reaction of methyl radicals with oxygen was found to proceed with a negligible activation energy and a steric factor of the order of 10−2. Evidence for the occurrence of the reactions[Formula: see text]at room temperature was obtained.

The pyrolysis of CdMe2 has been investigated in a benzene carried flow system using temperatures from 743 °K to 800 °K and pressures from 1.63 cm to 16.2 cm. High pressure limiting rate constants were obtained above approximately 8 cm pressures. The high pressure activation energy, E0, of 48.8 ± 1 kcal/mole is identified with D(MeCd—Me) within the limits D < E0 < D + RT.
