Abstract
The flash photolysis of chlorine and oxygen mixtures has been studied under isothermal conditions, and the mechanism of the formation of the CIO radical investigated. The rate constant for the reaction: Cl+O 2 + M → CIOO+ M (2) was found to be 6·2 ± 1·1 x 10 14 mole -2 ml 2 .s -1 . The ratio of rate constants for the reactions: Cl+ClOO → 2ClO, (4) Cl+ClOO → Cl 2 +O 2 (5) was estimated to be k 5 / k 4 ∼ 15, or ∼ 7·7 depending on the value chosen for the extinction coefficient of CIO.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
