THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF NITRYL CHLORIDE IN SHOCK WAVES

Abstract

The thermal decomposition of NO2Cl in ar and in O2 as well as that of pure NO2Cl was studied from 600 to 1000 K at concentations of 0.001 to 0.01 moles/liter using a shock wave technique. In general, the results re compatible with earlier, low temperature mesurements. The activation energy for pure NO2Cl decomposition is about 2.5 kcals/mole less than that for NO2Cl + Ar or NO2Cl + O2. This is compared to the drop in activation energy calculated from the differences in energy transfer efficiency assuming deactivation on every collision. (Author)
