Apart from their own intrinsic interest as two of the simplest combustion reactions, it has long been known that the oxidations of both hydrogen and carbon monoxide may contribute appreciably to the later stages of hydrocarbon oxidation. It is natural therefore that these two simpler oxidations should have been studied very extensively. As a result of such investigations the general patte of behaviour is now fairly clear in both cases, and in the case of hydrogen the reaction mechanism is understood in some detail.
