β¦ Synopsis
The effect of pressure on the rate constant of the OH + CO reaction has been measured for Ar, N,, and SF, over the pressure range 200-730 torr. All experiments were at room temperature. The method involved laser-induced fluorescence to measure steady-state OH concentrations in the 184.9 nm photolysis of H,O-CO mixtures in the three carrier gases, combined with supplementary measurements of the CO depletion in these same carrier gases in the presence and absence of competing reference reactants. The effect of O2 on the pressure effect was determined. A pressure enhancement of the rate constant was observed for N, and SF6, but not for Ar, within an experimental error of about 10%. The pressure effect for Nz was somewhat lower than previous literature reports, being about 40% at 730 torr. For SF, a factor of two enhancement was seen at 730 torr. In each case it was found that 0, had no effect on the pressure enhancement. The roles of the radical species HCO and HOCO were evaluated.

Absolute rate constants for the reaction OD + DNOJ have been determined at 297 + 2 K, using a pulsed laser photolysis-resonance absorption technique. The values (in cm3 mol-' s-l) obtained for DN03 alone and in the presence of 107 Torr SF, and at + 3a are (5.47 zb 0.75) x lo9 and (8.51+ 0.72) x lo9
