RADIATION INDUCED REACTIONS BETWEEN IODINE AND ETHYL IODIDE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4271941

A kinetic study was carried out on the radiationinduced reactions in a solution of iodine in ethyl iodide, using I/sup 131/ at for both the radiation soarce and tracer for some of the chemical reactions. Within a particular region of concentration and radiation intensity the rate of the reaction C/sub 2/H/sub 5/ I + I/sub 2/ b 2/ + Sn. Suff C/sub2/H/sub 5/I + I/sub 2/ fol lows the rate law dlx/dt = k(EtI)/sup 2/3/(I/sub 2/)sup 2/3/(Rad)/sub 2/3/. From a reaction m echanism in which hot ethyl radicals recoil from the track of the ionizing radiation and react with iodine molecules this same rate law can be derived. (auth)
