THE DISSOCIATION OF CO
Abstract
The dissociation of carbon monoxide diluted with noble gases was studied in a shock tube. The reaction is complex and appears to be a chain with C2 as the important intermediate. At temperatures around 8000K, the reaction rates found to be consistent with the data are O + C + M yields CO + M, kr = 2 x 10 to the -34th power cm to the 6th power/sec; C + C + M yields C2 + M, kr = 3 x 10 to the -33rd power cm to the 6th power/sec; C2 + O yields CO + C, k = 6 x 10 to the -10th power cc/sec; and O2 + C yields CO + O, k = 5 x 10 to the -10th power cc/sec.
