Scavenging of e(s)(-) and OH center dot radicals in concentrated HCl and NaCl aqueous solutions

Atinault E, De Waele V, Schmidhammer U, Fattahi M, Mostafavi M

In neutral and acidic aqueous solutions containing 2 mol L (1) of Cl , the decay of the solvated electron and the formation of ClOH center dot and Cl-2(center dot-) were studied by picosecond pulse radiolysis experiment. The rate constant for the reaction of e(s)(-) and H3O+ is 1.3 x 10(10) L mol (1) s (1). The yield of the OH center dot radical at 100ps is estimated to be 5.0 x 10 (7) mol J (1). (c) 2008 Elsevier B.
