Pulse radiolytic induced transient electrical conductance in liquid solutions. Part 2.—Radiolysis of aqueous solutions of NO 3, NO 2 and Fe(CN) 3–6

Abstract

A study has been made of the radiolysis of aqueous solutions of NO3, NO2 and Fe (CN)3–6 within the first millisecond after exposure to a submicrosecond pulse of 15 MeV electrons. The overall reaction of the electron adduct of NO3 with water has a time constant of 9.5 µs at 25°C and it is catalyzed by H+. The reduction product of nitrite, 2OH, appears to originate from two processes with time constants of 18 and < 2µs respectively. The reduction of ferricyanide is probably complicated by aquocomplex formation. The rate constant for CH2OH + Fe(CN)3–6→ CH2O + H++ Fe(CN)4–6 is 4.2 × 109 l. mol–1 s–1.
