RADIATION CHEMISTRY OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF ETHANOL AND THE NATURE OF THE OXIDIZING RADICAL OH
Solutions containing ethanol, bromide ion, and oxygen have been irradiated with gamma -rays. The accepted mechanism for the oxidation of alcohol has been confirmed, and the competition for OH between Br/sup -/ and C/ sub 2/H/sub 5/OH has been demonstrated. The OH radical reacts somewhat faster with ethanol than with bromide ion. Addition of inert salts had no effect on this competition, which demonstrates that the radical is in fact a neutral species and is best represented by the conventional formula OH. (auth)
