Formation and dissociation of C2 from high temperature pyrolysis of acetylene

Abstract

Kinetics of formation and decay of C2 produced by passing shock waves through dilute C2H2+ Ar mixtures were studied at temperatures in the range 4860–6920 K. The kinetics of formation of C2 were in essential agreement with a postulated simple two-step dissociation of C2H2 by Ar. The rate constant for the dissociation of C2 by Ar was found to be kC2,Ar= 10–(9.21 ± 0.27) exp(–581 ± 59 kJ mol–1/RT) cm3 molecule–1 s–1.
