Kinetics of the OH plus HCNO reaction
The kinetics of the OH + HCNO reaction was studied. The total rate constant was measured by LIF detection of OH using two different OH precursors, both of which gave identical results. We obtain k = (2.69 +/- 0.41) x 10(-12) exp[(750.2 +/- 49.8)/T] cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) over the temperature range 298-386 K, with a value of k = (3.39 +/-0.3) x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) at 296 K. CO, 2CO, NO, and HNO products were detected using infrared laser absorption spectroscopy. On the basis of these measurements, we conclude that CO + H2NO and HNO + HCO are the major product channels, with a minor contribution from H2CO + NO.
