Data: table, diagram

Energy/Wavelength range: 200 - 240 nm

Resolution: 

Temperature: 298 K

Temperature dependence: no

Pressure/Concentration: CH4 pressure (30 atm)

Phase: gas; solution (water + N2O; water + CH3Cl; water + HClO4)

pH:


Comments: To increase the concentration of CH4 and C2H6 in solution, the authors used a pressure cell with a pressure of gas above
the solution of 30 atm. This gaves concentrations of 4 x 10^-2 and 5 x 10^-2 M for methane and ethane in the solution.
N2O, CH3Cl and H3O+ were used to scavenge electrons.
