✦ Synopsis
By allowing the t-butoxy radical to decompose in the presence of nitric oxide, it has been possible to determine rate constants for decomposition by the measurements of the relative rates (2) and (3):
The value of k3(x) has been determined in the presence of several inert gases (CF,, SF,, N,, and Ar) and a value of k3 interpolated for atmospheric conditions. The results may be compared with those for other relevant alkoxy radicals a t room temperature. Extrapolated values for k , in the presence of CF, lead to the result k3
