Monona,
Don't we need some experimental data on the reactivity of Vaseline vs O2 pressure and temperature? In the "old days" we would generate such data - perhaps even in the absence of a grant! Doesn't anybody "out there" generate basic data for the fun of it? It seems to me that such an investigation could be easily carried out as a class project in a chemical engineering department? Am I wrong?
Regards,
