Kinetics and mechanism of the heterogeneous oxidation of ethane and ethylene on samarium(III) oxide

The rates and products of the purely heterogeneous oxidations of C2H6(g) and C2H4(g) on Sm2O3 in the presence of O2(g) were investigated in a very low-pressure flow reactor by on-line molecular beam mass spectrometry, about 1000 ± 100 K. Ethane is oxidized to ethyl radicals, which undergo unimolecul...
