Abstract
The radiolysis of alkaline aqueous solutions of sodium hypobromite has been investigated to determine the effect of high pH on the primary radical yields. The reaction mechanism is fully established only when sodium bromite is present to capture BrO radicals, and the results show Ge-aq. + GH = 2.9, GOH = 2·3, GH2O2 = 0·7 and GH2 = 0·4 up to pH 13. In the presence of N2O G(N2) increases by 0.3 between pH 12 and 14, which is thought to be due to some process other than the conversion of H to e-aq..
