Summary
-
1.
Absolute values were measured of the rate constants for the reactions between oxygen atoms and ethylene, propylene, and isobutylene at various temperatures.
-
2.
Determinations were made of the activation energies for the reactions between oxygen atoms and ethylene, propylene, and isobutylene, which are equal respectively to 1350, 3000, 2550 cal/M.
-
3.
The principal direction of the reaction between oxygen atoms and unsaturated hydrocarbons is rupture of the C=C double bond to form carbonyl compounds (predominately formaldehyde).
