Kinetic Study of Alkanes and Alkenes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The following chemicals, with purities as stated by the supplier, were used without further purification: methane (> 99.995%, Air Liquid), ethane (> 99.995%, Air Liquid), propane (> 99.95%, Air Liquid), iso-butane (> 99.95%, Air Liquid), n-butane (> 99.95%, Air Liquid), cyclopentane (> 99.5%, Aldrich), cyclohexane (>99.5%, Aldrich), 2,3-dimethy butane (>99.5%, Aldrich), n-butane-D10 (98 atom % D, Aldrich)
and n-butane-D6 (98 atom % D, Aldrich) . The alkene impurities in these samples are important since they can influence the measured rate coefficients. Therefore, they were measured using GC-MS analyses and are noted elsewhere.
The NO3 radicals were produced by thermal decomposition of N2O5 injected into the chamber. Pure N2O5 was synthesized by mixing NO to a slowly flowing mixture of O3 in N2 and collecting N2O5 in a trap at 193 K. The collected N2O5 was purified via trap-to-trap distillation, as described by Davidson et al. 20

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
