Quasiclassical trajectory calculations have been performed for the H + H'X(nu) -> X + HH' abstraction and H + H'X(nu) -> XH + H' (X = Cl, F) exchange reactions of the vibrationally excited diatomic reactant at a wide collision energy range extending to ultracold temperatures. Vibrational excitation of the reactant increases the abstraction cross sections significantly. If the vibrational excitation is larger than the height of the potential barrier for reaction, the reactive cross sections diverge at very low collision energies, similarly to capture reactions. The divergence is quenched by rotational excitation but returns if the reactant rotates fast. The thermal rate coefficients for vibrationally excited reactants are very large, approach or exceed the gas kinetic limit because of the capture-type divergence at low collision energies. The Arrhenius activation energies assume small negative values at and below room temperature, if the vibrational quantum number is larger than 1 for HCl and larger than 3 for HF. The exchange reaction also exhibits capture-type divergence, but the rate coefficients are larger. Comparisons are presented between classical and quantum mechanical results at low collision energies. At low collision energies the importance of the exchange reaction is enhanced by a roaming atom mechanism, namely, collisions leading to H atom exchange but bypassing the exchange barrier. Such collisions probably have a large role under ultracold conditions. The calculations indicate that for roaming to occur, long-range attractive interaction and small relative kinetic energy in the chemical reaction at the first encounter are necessary, which ensures that the partners can not leave the attractive well. Large orbital angular momentum of the primary products (equivalent to large rotational excitation in a unimolecular reaction) is favorable for roaming.
