✦ Synopsis

Studies have been made of the products of the reaction between n-butane and nitrogen trifluoride; n-butane, nitrogen trifluoride, and owgen; vinylidene fluoride, and oxygen; hexafluorethane, oxygen, and hydrogen. The gases were reacted in a calorimeter bomb and the products were ,nalysed with a mass spectrometer. Hydrogen fluoride was trapped on sodium fluoride; fluorine on mercury. The results showed: (1) that fluorine reacts preferentially with hydrogen to produce hydrogen fluorine; (2) no C--F bonds are produced until there is more than enough flourine to react with hydrogen; and (3) comparison o] adiabatic theoreticab calculations with experimentally determined results indicates that shifting equilibrium is followed upon cooling the combustion products ]tom the flame temperature down to about 1 7000K.
