From halogenated hydrocarbons, irradiated in organic solutions (alcohol, acetone) halogen acids can be extracted with water. The amount of irradiation products rises proportionally to the dose of radiation and is dependent on (i) the concentration of the solution, (ii) the number of halogen atoms in the compound, and (iii) the type of binding, The yields are about & to & that found in aqueous solutions, but are not influenced at all by the addition of large amounts of water. The relation between yield and concentration is exponential in form, rising to a saturation value. In compounds containing many halogen atoms, a proportional increase is also found. These results are discussed and compared with theoretical conceptions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
