Abstract
Hydrazine was completely destroyed by active nitrogen, at both 150 °C. and 480 °C., up to a hydrazine flow rate of about 22 × 10−6 mole per sec., whereas ammonia production was small at hydrazine flow rates below about 12 × 10−6 mole per sec. Thus it appears that ammonia is formed in secondary reactions only. The results indicate that NH2 radicals rather than hydrogen atoms may be prominent in secondary reactions. Comparison of the rate of hydrazine destruction with the rate of production of hydrogen cyanide from ethylene indicates that excited nitrogen molecules do not make a large contribution to the chemical reactivity of active nitrogen.Keywords
