Abstract

The position of equilibrium in the reaction C~HC=CQH~ + Hz has been measured at 600, 650 and 700". Equilibrium was approached from both sides. Some uncertainty exists owing to the simultaneous formation of methane, but the indications are that the equilibrium constants at the three temperatures are 0.0310, 0.082 and 0.20, respectively, partial pres- sures being expressed in atmospheres.
