Summary
-
1.
The reaction of lithium peroxide with ethane was studied in the temperature range 250–300°. The end reaction products are Li2CO3 and LiOH. The activation energy of the reaction is 27 kcal/mole.
-
2.
The thermal decomposition of Li2O2 goes in parallel with the oxidation reaction. The activation energy of the decomposition is 50 kcal/mole.
