Summary
-
1.
It was shown by a kinetic method that carbon, monoxide is not the sole precursor of carbon dioxide in the oxidation of methane.
-
2.
Comparison of rates of accumulation of C02 with the rate of its formation from CO shows that only about 25% of the C02 is formed by the oxidation of CO.
-
3.
By the reduction of C14O2 with zinc, C140 of high activity was obtained in 98% yield.
