STUDY OF STABILIZATION OF HYDROGEN ATOMS AT 77K AND HIGHER TEMPERATURES.

Abstract

A detailed study was made of the stability and decay of H-atoms in aqueous 0.13 mole fraction HClO4 solutions. First order rate constants for the H-atom decay were observed over the temperature range from 100 to 130K. The data lead to an activation energy of 8 + 1 or -1 kcal/mole. The data are interpreted on the basis of a two step mechanism with the escape of H-atoms from their traps as the rate determining step. Studies of absorbent system were continued. The decay of H-atoms in a molecular sieve Norton Zeolon-H was found to be complex and not of any simple integral order. (Author)
