Abstract
A direct kinetics study of the temperature dependence of the CH~2~O branching channel for the CH~3~O~2~ + HO~2~ reaction has been performed using the turbulent flow technique with high‐pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry for the detection of reactants and products. The temperature dependence of the CH~2~O‐producing channel rate constant was investigated between 298 and 218 K at a pressure of 100 Torr, and the data were fitted to the following Arrhenius expression: 1.6 × 10^−15^ × exp[(1730 ± 130)/T] cm^3^ molecule^−1^ s^−1^. Using the Arrhenius expression for the overall rate of the CH~3~O~2~ + HO~2~ reaction and this result, the 298 K branching ratio for the CH~2~O producing channel is measured to be 0.11, and the branching ratio is calculated to increase to a value of 0.31 at 218 K, the lowest temperature accessed in this study. The results are compared to the analogous CH~3~O~2~ + CH~3~O~2~ reaction and the potential atmospheric ramifications of significant CH~2~O production from the CH~3~O~2~ + HO~2~ reaction are discussed. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
