Abstract
The main product of the reactions of active nitrogen with n- and iso-butanes at 75 °C. and 250 °C. was hydrogen cyanide. Small amounts of C2 hydrocarbons, mainly ethylene and acetylene, were produced in both reactions. Second order rate constants were calculated on the assumption that the reactive species in active nitrogen is atomic nitrogen, and that the initial attack of a nitrogen atom is the rate-controlling step. The activation energies were then estimated to be 3.6 kcal. and 3.1 kcal. and the probability factors 4.5 × 10−4 and 4.4 × 10−4, for the n-butane and isobutane reactions respectively.
