Rate constant for the reaction of OH radicals with CH3C(O)Cl determined by direct kinetic method 

Abstract

The fast flow technique with OH resonance fluorescence detection has been applied at T = 298 ± 2 K to study the kinetics of the overall reaction:A rate constant value of k 1 = (1.02 ± 0.12) x 10 10 cm 3 mol -1 s -1 has been determined which is the first direct kinetic parameter reported for reaction (1) in the literature (the error given refers to 2σ accuracy).
