In the silver catalyzed oxidation of ethylene or ethylene oxide (EtO), the silver catalyst activity measured under constant standard conditions in a flow system was found to be dependent on the conditions of previous catalyst treatment such as reaction temperature and reactant composition. The results are explained on the basis of slow establishment of equilibrium respecting fixation of stably sorbed oxygen atoms and surface products of oxidation. It is emphasized that in view of the slow processes observed, the kinetic measurements must be punctuated by frequent stabilizing check runs in order to maintain the catalyst in the same reference state.


A discharge flow system has been used to study the stoichiometry and chemiluminescence of the reaction of atomic oxygen with phosphorus and with phosphine. Visible chemilumi­nescence in both reactions extending down to 3600 Å and ultraviolet emission in the O + PH 3 reaction are attributed respectively to the processes O + PO → PO 2 and OH + PO → HOPO. Bond energies of these species and the mechanisms of formation of excited PO are discussed. It is deduced that P and PO only play minor roles in the O + P 4 reaction and in the chain reaction between phosphorus and oxygen.

The reaction has been studied in a fast-flow system by introducing nitric oxide in the gas stream with excess active nitrogen. The nitrogen atom consumption was determined by titrating active nitrogen with nitric oxide at different positions along the reaction tube. The rate constant is found to be k1 = 1.83(± 0.2) × 1015 cc2 mole−2 sec−1 at pressures of 3, 3.5, and 4 mm, and with an unheated reaction tube.The homogeneous and surface decay of nitrogen atoms involved in the above system were studied using the nitric oxide titration method, and the rate constants were found to be k3 = 1.04 ± 0.17 × 1016 cc2 mole−2 sec−1, and k4 = 2.5 ± 0.2 sec−1 (γ = 7.5 ± 0.6 × 10–5), respectively, over the range of pressures from 0.5 to 4 mm with an unheated reaction tube.


The rates of reaction of 3 P oxygen atoms with hydroxyl and hydrogen have been measured in a flow system at pressures around 2 mmHg. The former reaction, O + OH -> H + O 2 , ( — 4) occurred in the products of the rapid reaction between H and NO 2 , and was followed by measurements of atomic oxygen concentrations. k -4 was found to be 5±2 x 10 -11 cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 at 265 and 293 °K. This result, when combined with data on the reverse reaction at elevated temperatures, gives a value of k -4 which is virtually independent of temperature and equal to about 1/20 of the bimolecular collision frequency. The reaction O + H 2 -> OH + H (3) was studied in the absence of molecular oxygen and found to have a rate constant of 6 x 10 -13 exp (-8900/ RT ) cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 in the range 409 to 733 °K. This is in good agreement with values obtained at higher temperatures. The rate constant for O + D 2 was significantly less than that for O + H 2 at temperatures between 491 and 671 °K.

Hyroxyl resonance fluorescence was used to study the reaction of OH with HCN in a discharge-flow system. The effect of side reactions involving OH was assessed by numerical integration of the rate equations for the system. The rate constant for the reaction: OH + HCN → products as measured at pressures above 10 Torr and under conditions where side reactions were believed to be unimportant, is given by the expression: k = 1.60 ° 10-11 T-1exp(-1.86 × 103/T) cm3 molecule -1 s-1 with an estimated error of � 20% over the temperature range from 298 to 563 K.

Abstract A windowless microwave discharge in He was used to generate Ne emissions in a flow system. Relative transition probabilities for a number of emission arrays were determined from the observed line intensities. Agreement is generally obtained with previous experimental and theoretical work.
