The overall reaction of hydroxide radical with nydrogen gas occurs as follows: DH(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 eaction of H with O2. HO2 is involved in the lestruction of stratospheric ozone (J. Phys. Chem. A, 2006, 110, 6978). The rate constants for the reaction of OH with H2 vere found to be 1.29x107 L mol-1 s-1 at 83. °C and 3.43x106 L mol-1 s-1 at 14. °C.

9) Determine the activation energy for the reaction of OH with H2 reaction.

The overall reaction of hydroxide radical with
hydrogen gas occurs as follows:
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 02. HO2 is involved in the
destruction of stratospheric ozone (J. Phys. Chem.
A, 2006, 110, 6978).
The rate constants for the reaction of OH with H2
were found to be 1.29x107 L mol-1 s-1 at 83. °C
and 3.43x106 L mol-1 s-1 at 14. °C.
