Abstract
The rate of production of nitrogen dioxide from mixtures of acetaldehyde, nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide has been measured at temperatures between 20 and 80°C. The reaction is attributed to the disproportionation of nitric oxide by acetyl radicals produced in the step, CH3CHO+NO2→CH3CO+HNO2, the rate constant of which is estimated to be 106.2 exp (–12,600/RT)l. mole–1 sec–1. The production of nitrogen dioxide is inhibited by iodine; the rate constant of the reaction of acetyl radicals with iodine is estimated to be about 5 times that of the reaction with nitrogen dioxide.Keywords
