✦ Synopsis
The reaction of atomic hydrogen with 02('Ag) has been investigated as a function of temperature, using a fast discharge-flow apparatus equipped for EPR detection of free radical species. The rate constant for the overall reaction was measured as (1.46 f 0.49) X 10-I' exp(-4000 f 200 cal/mol/RT) cm3/s. Evidence is presented which suggests that the reaction occurs principally via abstraction, H + 0z('Ag) -OH + 0, rather than via physical quenching, H + 02('Ag) -H + 02(X3Z,).

The generation of metastable O, ('Xg+) and Oz('Ag) in the H + 0, system of reactions was studied by the flow discharge chemiluminescence detection method. In addition to the Oz('Pg') and Oz(' , H0,(2A~oo) + H02(2AlohO), H02(zA~o,) + HO,(zA~oo), and H Oz(2A~oo) --+ H0,(2A&,o) emissions were detected
An analysis of the atmospheric observations of OZ('Ag) in the dayglow and twilight confirms the crude experimental assessments of Brown [ 1 ] and the conclusions that can be made from recent work of Westenberg, Roscoe, and DeHaas [2] that the reaction H -t Oz('Ag) --+ OH + 0 is relatively slow, much
The same chemiluminescent spectrum of HNO was obtained in both the reaction systems of 0(3P) + CaHe + NO + 02 (\* A,)/02 and H + NO + 02( 'Ag)/Oa. The reaction mechanism for producing the excited HNO is proposed to be -HNO('A') + 02 ( 'Ag) + HNO(3A", + 0s (3X,) , HNOc3A") + 02 ('A,) --t HNO('A") +
