IONS PRODUCED IN CHEMICALLY REACTING SYSTEMS.
Abstract
A method for flash conductimetry in gases is described in this report. Its use in the study of chemi-ionization reactions is briefly discussed. Details are given of the apparatus used in the work reported here. Preliminary results on the conductivity observed during the explosion of a mixture of C2H2, O2 and NO2 are reported. An analysis of the conductivity-time curves obtained shows that there is a paralellism between rate of ion-formation and radical concentration (data from the literature) during the course of the explosion. A temporary conclusion of this work confirms the idea that in one flame several radical reactions may be at the origin of chemi-ionization. (Author)
