โฆ Synopsis
Hydroxyl radicals were prepared from the photolysis of N2O at 21 3.9 n m in the presence
The O ( ' D ) produced in the primary photolytic act reacts with Hz to produce ofexcess Hz.
OH radicals. If CO is also present, then OH can react either with H2 or C O :
The competition between reactions (1) and ( 2) was measured by measuring the COP yield at various values of the ratio [CO]/[H,] at 217-298ยฐK. At 298ยฐK the ratio of the rate coefficients kl/k2 increased with pressure from a low-pressure limiting value of 14 to a highpressure limiting value of 50. The low-pressure limiting value agrees well with the lowpressure values found by others. At lower temperatures our high-pressure values of kl/kz were larger than deduced from the accepted low-pressure Arrhenius expression and could be fitted to the expression klm/k2 = 0.20 exp (+3400/RT)
The mechanism which seems to fit the results best is (a,-a)
