Data on the mechanism and rate constants of chemical reactions and vibrational relaxation processes in the F2 + H2 system lead to the conclusion that a small addition of HF (0.01 to 0.001) in the original mixture can play a significant role in the stabilization of the mixture. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the behavior of F2 + H2 mixtures upon passing the upper limit of chain self-ignition, taking into account the HF present as an impurity and also formed during the reaction.
