Competition Kinetics of the Nonbranched-Chain Addition of Free Radicals to Olefins, Formaldehyde, and Oxygen

Figure 2

Reconstruction of the functional dependence (curves) of the product formation rates 𝑉_3,4 and 𝑉_3a on the initial concentration x of free formaldehyde (model optimization with respect to the parameters α, β and 𝑘₂) from empirical data (symbols) for the 1-propanol-formaldehyde system at 413 K [8, 9, 40]: (1) calculation (5), standard deviation of 𝑆_𝑌=2.20×10⁻⁷; (2) calculation using (6), 𝑆_𝑌=2.38×10⁻⁸.
