Summary
-
1.
The kinetic labeled atom method has been used to measure the rate of the forward reaction of the process of ethane dehydrogenation: C2H6⇌C2 14H4 + H2 under equilibrium conditions at 600 and 554°.
-
2.
It is difficult to identify a chain mechanism of a reaction by comparing the reaction velocities in the absence of end products and under equilibrium conditions.
