Using currently available thermochemical and kinetic data and estimation methods to analyze the thermochemistry and the kinetic parameters of the elementary reactions involved in the oxidation of HCl and HBr, reaction mechanisms are proposed which account for the previously reported reaction product

β¦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the oxidation of hydrogen iodide (HI + 0 2 ) a t low temperature (414-499 K) in the gas phase by the method of idination kinetics is complicated by a heterogeneous reaction between hydrogen iodide and oxygen. Present work leads to an upper limit for the bimolecular rate constant kl for the first and rate-determining step (1) HI + 0 2 + HOz + I These data are combined with an estimated A factor A1 = 109.3*0.2 L/mol.s (assuming a tight linear I-H--Otransition state), to calculate the lower limit of the activation energy for the forward reaction E l . This leads to a minimum value for the heat of formation of the HO:! radical, AH;29B(H02) > 3.0 kcal/mol. 'Throughout this paper the standard state for thermochemical data is 298 K and 1 atm, unless otherwise noted. All thermochemical data from IS].

The heat of formation of HO2 has been determined using highly accurate ab initio calculations. Our computed value is 3.5 +0.5 kcal/mol at 0 K (or 2.8kO.5 kcal/mol at 298 K). The accuracy of the current result is estimated on the basis of calibration calculations on Hz, OH, H,O, 02, and H202, which a
