Summary

  1. 1.

    The absolute values of the rate constant of the elementary reaction of oxygen atoms with acetylene were measured in the temperature interval 120–290°.

  2. 2.

    A value of the activation energy of the rate constant of the reaction, equal to 3100 cal/mole was obtained, along with a value of the preexponential factor equal to 2.9·10−13 cm3·sec−1·molecule−1.

  3. 3.

    The basic direction of the reaction of oxygen atoms with acetylene is the reaction proceeding with cleavage of the CΞC triple bond.
