Abstract
The mobilities of the positive ions , , and in gas have been measured, using the "four-gauze" electrical shutter method. The ions have been identified mass-spectrometrically. Measurements were made over a range of (, ) from 5.5 to 100 V per cm×mm Hg and in a pressure range of from 0.5 to 1.6 mm Hg. The predominant ion is . The mobility corrected to 0°C for the ions was 14.4, for the ions 10.2 and for the ions 9.6 /V×sec at V/cm×mm Hg. With increasing , the mobility of the ions decreases, that of the ions increases to a maximum of 14.7 /V sec at V/cm×mm Hg and then decreases, and that of the ions increases.
