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 photolysi

✦ Synopsis
Relative rate measurements of the reactions of the HO-radical with CO [HO + CO -+ H + COa (1) ] and with isobutane [HO f iso-C4H10 -t Hz0 f f-(or iso-)CaHg ( 3)J have been made through the photolysis of dilute mixtures of HONO with CO, ixo-Cd H ro, N0a, and NO in simulated air at 700 and 100 torr pressure and 25 f 2°C. In situ, long path, FT-IR analysis of the reactants and products provided essentially continuous monitoring of the reactions during the course of the experiments. The kinetic analysis of the data coupled with Greiner's estimate of k3 give new estimates ofX_r = 439 + 24 ppm-' min-' in air at 700 torr and kt = 203 f 29 ppm-' min-t in air at 100 tot-r. The results confii the recent conclusions of Cos and Sic and their co-workers that the rate constant for reaction (1) is pressure dependent. Modeliers of the chemical changes which occur in the troposphere should adopt a new value for the rate constant kr which is about a factor of two huger than that in current use by most groups.

## Abstract Absolute rate constants for the reaction of OH with H~2~S have been measured over the temperature range of 239–425 K using the flash photolysis–resonance fluorescence technique. The results showed that the rate constants deviate slightly from Arrhenius behavior but can still be represen
