Abstract
A study of the two simultaneous equilibria, reactions (1) and (2), has been performed by pulse radiolysis in Ar-saturated aqueous solution at 25°C.
The forward and reverse rate constants of equilibrium (2) were determined at 0.3 mol dm
-3 ionic strength to be
k2=(6.1±0.2)×10
8 and
k-2=(2.1±0.1)×10
8 d mol
-1 s
-1. These yield the equilibrium constant
K2=
k2/
k-2=(2.9±0.2) at 0.3 mol dm
-3 ionic strength, or 1.2 corrected to zero ionic strength. As part of the study, the reactions of SO
4- with S
2O
82-, t-BuOH and water were found to be <1.5×10
3, (7.8±0.2)×10
5 d mol
-1 s
-1 and (690±120) s
-1, respectively. The relevance of these results to cloud chemistry is discussed.
