The overall reaction of hydroxide radical with hydrogen
gas occurs as follows:
Part A
OH (g) + H2(g) → H20(g) + H’(g)
This reaction plays a significant role in the chemistry of
the earth's atmosphere by eventually converting OH to
HO2 through the subsequent reaction of H with O2. HO2
is involved in the destruction of stratospheric ozone (J.
Phys. Chem. A, 2006, 110, 6978).
Determine the activation energy for the reaction of OH with H, reaction.
-115 kJ mol-1
O -16.6 kJ mol-1
The rate constants for the reaction of OH with H2 were
found to be 2.38×107 L mol-1 s-1 at 127. °C and 8.88×106
115 kJ mol-1
L mol-1 s-1 at 61. °C.
O 95.9 kJ mol-1
O 16.6 kJ mol-1
