Summary

  1. 1.

    The oxidation of propane by oxygen in the presence of chlorine at various temperatures (327, 340, 358, and 372°) was studied by measuring the heating of the mixture during the reaction.

  2. 2.

    When chlorine was introduced into the system C3H3+ O2, two heat-evolution maxima were clearly observed and these indicated that there are two macroscopic stages, separate in time, in the reaction mechanism.

  3. 3.

    By calculation, it was shown that two heat-evolution maxima may be obtained when there occur two degenerate branched stages in which a product of the first stage produces degenerate branching of the chain in the second stage.
