Abstract
Using a relative rate technique the reactions of fluorine and chlorine atoms with CF~3~COOH have been determined to proceed with rate constants of (5.6 ± 0.7) × 10^−11^ and <1 × 10^−17^ cm^3^ molecule^−1^ s^−1^, respectively. Quoted errors for the F atom rate constant reflect statistical uncertainty (two standard deviations). Systematic errors could add an additional 20% uncertainty. Experiments were performed at 295 ± 2 K and 700 torr total pressure of nitrogen diluent. The reactions of Cl and F atoms with CF~3~COOH are of no atmospheric importance. Rainout is believed to be the dominant mechanism by which CF~3~COOH is removed from the atmosphere. The results from this study are discussed with respect to the design and interpretation of laboratory studies of the atmospheric chemistry of CFC replacements. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract Absolute and relative rate techniques were used to study the reactivity of Cl atoms with cyclohexanone in 6 Torr of argon or 800–950 Torr of N~2~ at 295 ± 2 K. The absolute rate experiments gave __k__(Cl + cyclohexanone) = (1.88 ± 0.38) × 10^−10^, whereas the relative rate experiments g
The rate constant for the CF 3 ϩ NO 2 reaction (k 2 ) was measured at room temperature in the range of total pressures 300 -600 torr. The measurements were performed using the ruby-laser-induced pulsed photodissociation of CF 3 NO in the presence of NO and NO 2 in combination with time-resolved dete
