Abstract
The absolute rate constant for the reaction of methyl radicals with ozone has been measured as a function of temperature. Small concentrations of CH~3~ were generated by flash photolyzing CH~3~NO~2~ at 193 nm with an ArF laser. A photoionization mass spectrometer was used to follow the rate of decay of CH~3~ at various ozone concentrations. The resulting rate constants could be fit by the expressions
over the temperature range of 243โ384 K. These rate constants can be modeled by simple transition state theory using reasonable parameters for the activated complex. Use of this rate constant shows that less than 1% of the methyl radicals formed in the stratosphere react with ozone.
