Rate of Reaction of Alkali Metals and Aluminum Borohydride with Water
Abstract
Experimental methods and apparatus are described for the determination of rapid reaction rates, specifically those of sodium, potassium, sodium-potassium alloys, and aluminum borohydride with water, Under specific conditions, times for completion of the aluminum borohydride and alkali-metal reactions with water have been as short as one millisecond. It is believed that the measured rates for these reactions are governed by the extent of mixing of the reactants. If efficient mixing of the reactants is secured by some means such as spray contact, the reactions would be relatively instantaneous.
