Abstract
This paper reports an undergraduate laboratory experiment to measure heterogeneous liquid/gas reaction kinetics (ozone-oleic acid and ozone-phenothrin) using a flow reactor coupled to an attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectrometer. The experiment is specially designed for an upper-level undergraduate Physical Chemistry laboratory course and may be incorporated in environmental chemistry and toxicology laboratory courses as well. From the experiment, students can measure heterogeneous reaction rates, calculate reactive uptake coefficients, and evaluate the lifetime of chemicals in an atmospheric environment, which is conducive to their understanding of several important concepts related to physical chemistry and environmental chemistry.
