The reaction of H atoms, produced by the mercury photosensitized decomposition of H2, with COS was investigated in the temperature range 27-252°. The only primary reaction of importance is H + COS -* CO + SH (1). The rate coefficient of reaction 1 was determined in competition with the reaction H + H2S -*• H2 + SH to have the value k\ = (9.1 ± 1.2) X 1012 exp((-3900 ± 370)/RT) cc mol-1 sec-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
