Abstract
The rate constant for the reaction OH + ClO→HO2 + Cl (1a) →HCl + O2 (1b) has been measured in a discharge-flow system with far infrared laser magnetic resonance detection of OH, ClO, and HO2. Measurements were made at low pressure (1.0-1.1 Torr) and at temperatures between 219 and 373 K under pseudo-first-order conditions. The measured rate constant is k1 = (8.0 ± 1.4) × 10-12 exp[(235 ± 46)/T] cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The branching ratio at 293 K is, k1a/k1 = 0.86 ± 0.14. The rate constant to channel (1a) was used with that for the reverse reaction to calculate the heat of formation of HO2.ΔH°f,298 (HO2) = 3.0 ± 0.4 kcal mol-1.
