Radiation‐induced dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride in cyclohexane Solutions. The kinetics of liquid‐phase reactions of trichloromethyl radicals

Abstract
The kinetics of the gamma‐radiation induced free‐radical chain reaction in solutions of carbon tetrachloride in cyclohexane (RH) has been investigated in the temperature range of 303–383°K. Trichloromethyl radicals were produced by the reaction of radiolytically generated cyclohexyl radicals with carbon tetrachloride. The kinetics of the following reactions were investigated: equation image The following rate expression was obtained: The error limits are the standard deviation from the least mean square Arrhenius plots. Effects of phase on the kinetics of reactions (3) and (4) are considered.
