The so.called low pressure glow and explosion limits of the water-cataiysed reaction between carbon monoxide and oxygen have been studied using a photomultiplier to obtain light intensity/time graphs. The results show no sign of a glow limit, and little discontinuity at the explosion limit. The effe

## Abstract During the oxidation of carbon monoxide containing a trace of water, ten wellβknown atomic and molecular species can be identified as of potential significance. All conceivable reactions of these species in their ground electronic states were considered, and rate constants for all those
Previous studies by Buckler and Norrish of the second limit of CO and 0 2 mixtures containing small amounts (0.25-10%) of Hz have been used to obtain the velocity constant of the reaction (33) 0 + CO + M = COz + M Theseestimatesofks3=3.9 X lo8 and 3.5 X I081iter2mole-zsec-1(M =H2) at500"and 560Β°C.
A new technique is described for quantitative measurement of the conditions of reactant concentration at ignition in mixtures of carbon monoxide and oxygen. A thin film of carbon covering the surface of a quartz reaction vessel reacted with oxygen to form carbon monoxide and small quantities of wate
