Deaerated aqueous solutions of sodium azide were irradiated with x rays (200 kv) in the presence of methanol, propan-2-ol, acetone, and formaldehyde. The azidemethanol solutions were studied over a wide range of concentrations; in all cases the main reaction products were: nitrogen, ammonia, hydrogen, ethylene glycol, and formaldehyde. The results confirm the mechanism for radiolytic decomposition of the azide ion previously presented. Studies on the azide-propan- 2-ol and azide-acetone systems pro vide confirmatory evidence for the assumption of H/sub 2/O/sup -/ (polaron) as a primary species in the radiolysis of water. (auth)
