Abstract
A mass spectrometric study has been made of the reactions of atomic oxygen with ethylene and formaldehyde. The formation of in the ethylene reaction is shown to be independent of the presence of molecular oxygen and is attributed to a reaction between atomic oxygen and methyl radicals. The rate constant for the reaction of atomic oxygen with formaldehyde is 9.0E+10 cm3/mol s at 300 K.
