Abstract

The reaction Cl + CH3CHO HCl + CH3CO (1) was studied using flash photo-lysis / tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy to monitor the production of HCl. The rate coefficient, k1, was measured to be (7.5 ± 0.8) × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 298 K. HCl (v = 0) and HCl† (v = 1) were measured directly in this study and the yields of HCl (v = 0, 1, >1) for the reaction of Cl with CH3CHO were determined to be 0.44 ± 0.15, 0.56 ± 0.15, and <0.04, respectively. The rate coefficient for the quenching of HCl† (v = 1) by CH3CHO was k17e = (4.8 ± 1.2) × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 31: 766–775, 1999
