THE MEASUREMENT OF THE ABSOLUTE RATES OF REMOVAL OF LEAD AND TELLURIUM MIRRORS BY A FREE RADICAL STREAM

Abstract

Two new methods for measuring the rates of removal of mirrors in a Paneth apparatus have been developed. By measuring the rates of removal of lead and tellurium mirrors it was shown that the same number of radicals react with each atom of both metals. It is suggested that lead dimethyl and tellurium dimethyl are the compounds formed.
