REDOX ANALYSIS OF CRYOGENICALLY STABLE PRODUCTS OF DISSOCIATED WATER VAPOR

Abstract

A study is reported of the oxidizing and reducing powers of the products that can be frozen at liquid nitrogen temperature fr m water vapor dissociated by an electrodless discharge. The frozen material exhibits a greater oxidizing and reducing power than does the solution formed after melting of the products. This extra titer does not show a stoichiometric relation to the oxygen evolved upon warming. The ratio of oxidation to reduction equivalents is about 1:2. It is suggested that the unstable species is either H2O3 or H2O4. (Author)
