HYDROGEN IODIDE PRODUCTION IN RADIOLYSIS OF ORGANIC LIQUIDS CONTAINING DISSOLVED IODINE: CYCLOHEXANE, n-HEXANE, BENZENE
Radiolysis of cyclohexane, n-hexane, and benzene solutions containing dissolved iodine gives hydrogen iodide with initial G(HI) estimated to be, respectively, about are attributed in part to rapid reactions of HI with intermediate products during irradiation. In the case of cyclohexane, an alternative possibility is HI disappearance catalyzed by some intermediate. In addition, in all cases, postirradiation disappearance of HI also occurs. The kinetics are examined, and a tentative interpretation is offered. In benzene, G/ sub 2/ , hardness, 0.7 is, in the scheme suggested, the 100-ev yield of a species which can react rapidly with HI. These results may lead to modification of previously expressed views of the mechanism of cyclohexane radiolysis. (auth)
