Rate constants and Arrhenius parameters for the reactions of OH radicals and Cl atoms with CF3CH2OCHF2, CF3CHClOCHF2 and CF3CH2OCClF2, using the discharge-flow/resonance fluorescence method
Abstract
Rate constants were determined for the reactions of OH radicals and Cl atoms with the three partially halogenated methyl ethyl ethers, CF3CH2OCHF2, CF3CHClOCHF2 and CF3CH2OCClF2, using discharge-flow techniques to generate the OH radicals and the Cl atoms and resonance fluorescence to observe changes
in their relative concentrations in the presence of added
The results are compared with those obtained previously for the same and related reactions of OH radicals and Cl atoms, and the atmospheric implications of the results are considered briefly.
