The kinetics of the reactions of atomic hydrogen with halo-ethylenes

Abstract

The absolute rate constants for the addition of H atoms to C2H3F, 1,1-C2H2F2, C2HF3, C2H3Cl, 1,1 -C2H2Cl2, C2HCl3, and C2H3Br have been determined at 298 ± 2 K over the pressure range 0.70–1.35 Torr. For each of the compounds, the rate constants are found to undergo a modest increase with pressure. At 1.00 Torr the values determined for the rate constants are: C2H3F, (8.86 ± 1.12) × 10−14; 1,1-C2H2F2, (8.16 ± 0.66) × 10−14; C2HF3, (6.21 ± 0.53) × 10−14; C2H3Cl, (27.0 ± 0.5) × 10−14; 1,1-C2H2Cl2, (59.6 ± 3.4) × 10−14; C2HCl3, (10.4 ± 0.8) × 10−14; C2H3Br, (27.8 ± 2.5) × 10−14; in units of cm3 molecule−1 s−1.
