Abstract

Summary The yield of organically bound radio-bromine was determined in a wide range of mixtures of benzene, hexane, cyclohexane, tetradecane and bromoform with molecular bromine. The data was analysed by applying the kinetic theory of hot reactions to these liquid systems. After a number of drastic assumptions it was found possible to express the data in terms of two parameters: a) the reactivity integral (/) and b) the collisional energy loss (α). The validity of the independently obtained parameters (α and I)was checked by the determination - both experimentally and theoretically - of the organic yield of hot reactions in mixtures of bromoform and benzene. The values found for the α’s indicate that moderating collisions with hydrocarbon involve the whole molecule, whereas with halocarbons the collisions have more of an atom-atom character.
