The Gas Phase Radiolysis of Ethyl Chloride
-
Ralph N. Schindler
Summary
Ethyl chloride has been bombarded with 2.8 MeV electrons in the gas phase. The main radicals produced in the primary chemical event are monochloroethyl and ethyl with the corresponding fragments. Their major reactions during radiolysis include:
CI· + C2H5Cl → HCl + C2H4C1 (1)
C2H5· + HCl → C2H6 + CI· (2)
2C2H5· → C4H10 (3)
C2H5· + C2H4Cl· → C4H2Cl (4)
2C2H4Cl· → C4H8Cl2 (5)
The rate constant <xxx>has been determined to be 1.92 ̅± 0.2.
Disproportionation reactions of chloroethyl radicals were found negligible. In addition, ethylene, acetylene, vinyl chloride, and hydrogen, in part, are formed by molecular elimination reactions. The molecular processes account for roughly half of all primary reactions observed.
