Abstract: | Abstract— In order to obtain a better understanding of the kinetics of the Haber-Weiss reaction ![](eqmu1) often proposed as a source of OH radicals, we have measured the decomposition rate of H2O2 in aqueous solutions by y rays and for different pH values. This decomposition proceeds by a chain reaction involving the preceding one as the propagating step. The rate constant found is to be ![](eqmu2) |
