THE MECHANISM OF THE TRITIUM BETA-RAY INDUCED EXCHANGE REACTIONS OF DEUTERIUM WITH METHANE AND ETHANE IN THE GAS PHASE.
Abstract
A study was made of the mechanism responsible for the exchange reactions occurring at pressures ranging from 0.85 to 0.98 atmospheres in the deuterium: methane system composed of 98.5% TD/D2(1:100) and 1.5% CH4 between 77 and 500K. The significance of this system lies in the abundance of kinetic data potentially available regarding atomic reactions induced by hydrogen atoms and ionic reactions involving proton transfer. It is shown that the application of this method to the hydrogen:methane and hydrogen:ethane systems investigated has made possible a complete determination of the mechanism and evaluation of the corresponding kinetic parameters.
