Abstract
A recent model1 for the radiolysis of water includes chemical reactions of the precursor of the hydrated electron, Open image in new window , namely, the non-hydrated (dry) electron, represented by Open image in new window . According to this model, Open image in new window reacts with scavengers such as N2O, Lewiss acids and acetone, but not with hydronium ions, Open image in new window . To test these suggestions, we have studied the effect of Open image in new window on the yields of transient species from the reaction of Open image in new window and/or e Open image in new window with acetic acid. If scavenging of Open image in new window increases with increasing concentration of solute, the maximum extent by which the yield of the transient product from reaction (1) can be decreased by Open image in new window is greater at low than at high concentrations of acetic acid.
