Abstract
The reaction BrO + HO_2 → products is the rate-limiting step in a key catalytic ozone destruction cycle in the lower stratosphere. In this study a discharge-flow reactor coupled with molecular beam mass spectrometry has been used to study the BrO + HO_2 reaction over the temperature range 233-348 K. Rate constants were measured under pseudo-first-order conditions in separate experiments with first HO_2 and then BrO in excess in an effort to identify possible complications in the reaction conditions. At 298 K, the rate constant was determined to be (1.73 ± 0.61) x 10^(-11) cm^3 molecule^(-1) s^(-1) with HO_2 in excess and (2.05 ± 0.64) x 10^(-11) cm^3 molecule^(-1) s^(-1) with BrO in excess. The combined results of the temperature-dependent experiments gave the following fit to the Arrhenius expression : k = (3.13 ± 0.33)]10^(-12) exp(536 ± 206/T) where the quoted uncertainties represent two standard deviations. The reaction mechanism is discussed in light of recent ab initio results on the thermochemistry of isomers of possible reaction intermediates.
