The colorimetric method of estimating the rate of addition of hydrogen atoms to the oxides of molybdenum and tungsten is discussed in detail. It is also shown that alkyl radicals are efficiently removed by molybdenum oxide, and allowance is made for the effect of their presence on the blueing rate of the oxide surface. The method of evaluating collision efficiencies from the data obtained is indicated in full, and the construction and operation of a calculator to assist in the computation is described.
