Abstract
The reaction of active nitrogen with ethylene and deuterated ethylenes has been investigated by use of a mass spectrometer. The rate of disappearance of atomic nitrogen in the presence of ethylene appears to obey the equation[Formula: see text]where kapp is an apparent second order rate constant and [ethylene]0 is the initial concentration of added ethylene. However, exceptions to this equation are found at 0.6 Torr either for short reaction times or for small concentrations of added ethylene, and apparently for short reaction times at 2.6 Torr when a large excess of ethylene is added. Where the above equation is obeyed, kapp = (3 ± 1) × 10−13 cc molecule−1 s−1. The formation of C2D4 in the reaction of active nitrogen with C2D3H is interpreted as further evidence for the importance of hydrogen atom reactions in intermediate steps of the reaction of active nitrogen with ethylene.
