Abstract
The transfer of oxygen from water to oxygen in the uv photolysis of O3–H2O mixtures is studied as a function of the ozone and water vapor pressures using 18O-labeled H2O. It is shown that deactivation of the active species is generally competitive with the ordinary chemical reactions these species undergo. It is also shown that the reaction of O1D with H2O is about four times slower than its reaction with O3. The quantum yields at different O3 and H2O pressures are calculated from the exchange data. Some preliminary experiments on the exchange of O1D with N2O and in somewhat more detail on the CO2–O2 exchange during the uv decomposition of O3 are also reported.
