Effects of Radiation on Aqueous Solutions of Carboxylic Acids


Book Description

Irradiation of aqueous solutions of oxalic acid, (COOH)2, with 2.5 Mev x rays for exposure of ^10(exp 6) roentgens causes a decrease in the number of both reducing and acid equivalents. Solutions of formic acid, HCOOH, show similar decreases under deuteron and electron irradiation. Approximate values of G (molecules converted per 100 ev) for oxalic range from 4 to 6; for formic acid the values are 2.5 for electrons and 1.7 for deuterons.
