tem.lb Above 50 mole yolead the optical rotation again becomes more positive, and a precipitate forms for mixtures in excess of 67 mole % lead. These data can only be explained by the presence of a relatively positive-rotating, soluble 2 : 1 complex (66.7 mole yo Pb). It is interesting to note that above 70 mole Yo lead the optical activity becomes strongly negative even though an appreciable amount of the mixture has precipitated. A sharp minimum occurs a t 75 mole yolead. These results can only be explained by concluding that the precipitate formed is a partially soluble, strongly levorotatory 3: 1 solid. Apparently this compound has a large enough solubility to strongly influence the optical activity of the solution.

Radiolysis of Neutral Water by Cyclotron Produced Deuterons and Helium Ions’ BY HAROLD A. SCHWARZ, JAMESM. CAFFREY, JR., AND GEORGE SCHOLES RECEIVED SEPTEMBER 12, 1958 The yields of H2, HzOZ,H and OH in neutral aqueous solutions have been determined for 18 MeV. deuterons, 32 MeV. helium ions and 11 MeV. helium ions. Hz yields were determined in KBr and KNOZsolutions, H202 yields in air-saturated and 0 2 . The dependence of these KBr solutions and H atom yields in solutions of HPand 0 2 and in solutions of C Z H ~ O H yields on solute concentration was studied. The results are interpreted in terms of the radical-diffusion mechanism and are found to be in good agreement with the predictions of Ganguly and Magee, based on a simple model of this mechanism except in the densest tracks, where the yield of water decomposition appears to increase. The mechanism whereby radiation decomposes water into free radicafi is discussed in the light of the existing data.

Water is decomposed into four products, Hz, H and OH, by ionizing radiation.2 The ratio of the molecular products, HZand HzOz, to the radical products is greater for radiations with a high rate of energy loss, -dE/dx, than for radiations of low - dE/dx. The Hz and HzOz are generally postulated to be formed by combination reactions of the two radicals H and OH in the regions of high radical concentration along the track of the radiation. H202,

The last reaction has not been observed, but is inferred from the other two. Radicals that do not combine react with solutes present, giving rise to the “radical yields.” In the case of 7-rays and fast electrons, these radicals are produced in isolated (1) Research performed under the auspices of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. ( 2 ) A. 0 . Allen, Radialion Rerearch, 1, 85 (1954).

spurs of a radius of about 10 A. containing 5 to 10 radicals3 (ie., about 100 e.v. of absorbed energy). For particles of higher -dE/dx, the spurs may overlap. For a 1 MeV. electron, -dE/dx is 0.02 e.v./k4; for an 18 MeV. deuteron, 0.5 e.v./A.; for a 32 MeV. helium ion, 2.3 e.v./A. and for a 3.5 MeV. a-particle, about 10 e.v./A. Thus a t high -dE/dx, the spur structure is lost and the track consists of a concentrated column of radicals. This mechanism accounts qualitatively for the variation of the product yields with -dE/dx and for the decrease in molecular yields upon the addition of so!utes reactive to H and OH.5-6 The yields of the molecular and radical products in 0.4 M HzS04 for various cyclotron radiations have been determined by Schuler and Allen,4 (3) A.

Experimental The usual purity precautions were observed.lO The radiation cells were of the type described by Saldick and Allen, with glass enclosed, magnet driven stirrers." The cell volumes were about 25 t o 30 cc. The solutions containing HZ and 0 2 were prepared by passing each gas separately through a flow meter, calibrated under operating conditions, then through a fritted glass barrier with water above it, into a small mixing chamber. The mixed gases were bubbled through the water in the radiation cell at a rate of about 30 cc. per minute for 5 t o 10 minutes prior t o the irradiation. The entrance and exit tubes were fitted with water-lubricated stopcocks, which were closed after saturation, so that the gases did not pass through the solution during irradiation. 01saturation was accomplished in a similar manner. Air-free samples for HZanalysis were prepared as described by Johnson and Allen.lo The methods developed by Schuler and Allen for using the Brookhaven 60-inch cyclotron and measuring the beam energy and current were used essentially without change.'* M FeSO,, M The rate of oxidation of air-saturated in NaCl and 0.4 M in HaO,, studied extensively by Schuler and Allen,' was determined each day, and our resdlts were normalized to their yields.

Results and Discussion The yields of the four products of the radiation, expressed as molecules per 100 e.v., are denoted by G H ~GH~O,, , GH and GOH. The observed yield o h a t e r disappearance is denoted by G- H ~ Oand ~ is equal to ~ G H , GH or ~ G H ~ o , GOH. The actual observed yield of H202, which is a function of the four products, is denoted by G(H202). This work was performed a t three energies, 18 Mev. deuterons, 32 MeV. helium ions and 11 Mev. helium ions. Since several different radiation cells were used a t various times, it was not possible to keep the beam energy constant. In practice, the beam energies were usually within 1 MeV. of these values. The helium ion beam energies in the studies of the Hz yield varied between 30 and 33 MeV. I n order to compare the yields with the results in the other systems, GH, was corrected by -0.007 per hfev., which appears reasonable from the work of Schuler and Allen4 This correction amounted to 3% a t most. The reduced energy helium ion Hz02 yield in air-saturated KBr solutions was determined a t 12.7 Mev. instead of 11 MeV. Again, in order to compare results, we as-

The correction term is never larger than 5% of the H202 concentration.

When 0 2 concentration is increased, there is another track reaction that would tend to increase GH,o~,;.e., H HOz + HzOz. The increase in G H ~from o ~ this reaction should parallel the decrease in GH¶,since the HOz formed would maintain a similar distribution to its H atom precursor and would have a similar probability of reacting with another H atom. Ghormley and Hochanadel find that Go(H202) is 1.10 for solutions bubbled with 0 2 while being irradiated with Corn y-rays.24 Since the HZ is being removed by bubbling, this should represent the value of 2G~,o,- GH in the absence of KBr. It is 10% higher than is found by extrapolating to infinite dilution of KBr the results obtained in airsaturated solution by Allen and Holroyd.12 In view of the otherwise excellent agreement between the two laboratories, this difference is probably real and is of the same origin as our oxygen concentration effects. In an attempt to study GH,o, a t higher (Br-) in M acid solution with 32 MeV. helium ions, we found that the apparent G(H202) increased rapidly when (Br-) was greater than M and leveled off a t about 2.5 to 3 around 2 X 10+ M (Br-), but was irreproducible. This product was not all H202but contained some bromine, as shown by following its rate of reaction with the iodide reagent in the absence of the molybdate catalyst. No Br2 a t pH 2 was noted with CoB07-rays a t (Br-) below 0.1 M . This difference from the cydotron work must be due to the increased dose rate with the helium ion beam.

The competition between (12) and (9) would produce the dose rate effect. Presumably, this effect would disappear a t higher Hz concentration, but we cannot work above atmospheric pressure with the required thin windows. All that can be said is that for 18 MeV. deuterons, G(Hz02) extrapolates to about 2.2 at low currents.

For y-rays, the proportionality factors and relationship between p and solute concentration were taken to give the best fit with the data, giving GH, = 0.865(1 - S ) , p = 0.5(N02-), GH,o~= 1.39(1 - S ) and p = 1.5(Br-). For the other radiations, the expressions for p were kept constant, and the normalizing factors for 1 - S were evaluated a t 211 for HZyields from (NOz-) and a t 2 X M for HzOz yields from Br- solutions, giving GH, = 0.923(1 - S ) and 1.06(1 - 5) for 18 MeV. deuterons and 32 MeV. helium ions, respectively, and GH,o* = 1.24(1-S), 1.13(I - S ) ,and 1.22(1 - S ) for 18 MeV. deuterons, 32 MeV. and 11 MeV. helium ions, respectively.

RADIOLYSIS OF NEUTRAL WATERBY CYCLOTRON PRODUCED DEUTERONS

April 20, 1959

In general, the agreement between the calculations of Ganguly and Magee and our data is excellent, considering that theirs is a one radical model with several approximations. The various reactions proposed to account for the deficiency in calculating G ~ I ~would o ~ require the introduction of several new parameters into the model which might require much more effort than it is worth. Certainly, the over-all mechanism is well substantiated. Radical Distribution in the Track.-In their calculations, Ganguly and Magee assume that all of the radicals are formed in spurs of about 10 8. radius. In order to support this, Samuel and Magee proposed that all electrons produced in the solution were brought rapidly to thermal energies and were recaptured by their parent ions,3 &us eliminating the possible formation of H atoms at large distances from the track. Platzman has calculated the rate a t which the secondary electrons lose their last few volts of energy32and concludes that they come to thermal energies in the solution only a t large distances from the parent ion (of the order of hundreds of A.). These electrons never return to *their parent ion but presumably form H atoms or react as H atoms in a very diffuse distribution, approaching uniformity. If some radicals were formed in an essentially uniform distribution, Ganguly and Magee’s calculations would be in error, principally a t high -dE/dx. The experimental value of S would equal the S calculated by Ganguly and Magee plus a constant. Even apart from the calculations, there is no evidence of background of radicals a t the larger values of -dE/dx (see Table IV). It may be argued that at the high ion density associated with high -dE/dx the electrons do begin to return to the ion column formed, but the excellent agreement between experiment and the calculations of Ganguly and Magee strongly supports the conclusion of Samuel and Magee. The increase in G-H~o and G-H~O G H ~ GH,O~at high -dE/dx can be explained in terms of the radical distribution in the track. First, GHOHshould be greater than GH, GH¶o%, since an appreciable number of the radicals are produced in isolated pairs of H and OH which can recombine to HzO but cannot form HP or Hz01.3 At least 40y0 of the spurs contain only a single pair of radicals. At high -dE/dx, these pairs are no longer isolated but are part of a track, so that there is a probability for combination to form H2 and H202 and consequently a decreased probability for formation of HzO. This would lead to an increase in G-H,O GH, GH~o,. However, if the radicals in these pairs are separated by 5 8.or so, the probability3 of their recombining is small, of the order of 20%. This effect alone cannot account for the observed increase in yield which is 300/0. If all of the radicals including the isolated pairs are produced by decomposition of excited water molecules, as suggested by Samuel and Magee, the original pairs of H and OH should be closer than 5 k. If they are separated by 1 to

2 ti., as seems likely,33 recombination will be of the order of SOYo or more. We may conclude that a t .ow -dE/dx (z.e., for y-rays) the radical distribution is not random. I n any given spur, the initial separation between dissociated water molecules is 5 to 10 8., while the distaFce between any pair produced from HzO is 1 to 2 A. There would be a strong tendency for the original pair to recombine relative to combination with the other radicals. At high -dE/dx the distance between spur centers is less than the average radius of a spur. For 3.5 MeV. a-particles, the average radical concentration along the track is about 5 ill, a factor of 2 higher than the concentration in an isolated spur. Consequently the correlation of the radical pairs is less noticeable, and there will be more random combination leading to increased HZand HPOZyields with respect to GHOH. A corollary of this model is that the total yield of water decomposition is considerably greater than the figure 4.6 indicated in Table V. A large value is quite reasonable, since many other non-aromatic systems have decomposition yields between 5 and 10. Firestone has found G-H~o = 11.7 in the gas phase.3 4 Comparison with Yields in Acid Solution.-In Table IV we have given G H ~and GH in 0.8 N HzS04 (Schuler and Allen)4 for comparison with our results. G-H~ois considerably greater in acid solution, principally because GH is larger. This increase in yield is caused by the hydronium ion. Na+ does not produce the effect,35and it is independent of the anion.36 The yields in acid solution are amenable to the same treatment as above in comparison with Ganguly and Magee’s 1 - S, but the agreement is not quite as good. There are few concentration dependence data available except for y - r a y ~ , ~ , ” J ~ but these studies indicate that GH, is more sensitive to solute concentration in acid than in neutral solution, while the GH,o¶ sensitivity is about the same. For y-rays, G H ~extrapolates to the same yield a t infinite dilution in both acid and neutral solutions.34 However, as -dE/dx increases, GH, in acid solution becomes larger than G H in ~ neutral solution, as can be seen in Table IV. One possible explanation of the pH effect is that acid destroys the correlation between H and OH somewhat, increasing the over-all yield of radicals but also increasing the dimensions of the spur. For y-rays, these two effects would have to balance to keep the combination yield constant. The increased spur size would also explain the increased scavenger efficiency, since the parameter p is proportional to the square of the average radius of the spur. A possible mechanism for this destruction of the correlation is the occurrence of the reaction H30+ e +H H2O instead of the electron returning to the parent ion. UPTON,L. I., N. Y.
