Description:
The gas phase reaction O + O3 yields 2 O2 was studied directly in a flow system under conditions of excess ozone, with O-atoms produced by thermal decomposition of Ar-O3 mixtures on a Nernst Glower, and measurement of the spatial O-atom decay by O + NO chemiluminescence with small, variable NO additions. The rate constant was found to be (9.6 + or - 0.7) x 10 to the minus 15th power cu/cm/molecule/sec at 298 K. Over the temperature range 269 to 409 K a rate expression (1.78 + or - 0.28) x 10 to the 11th power exp((-4.46 + or - 0.10 kcal/mole)/RT) is reported. The effects of interference by O2 (delta sub g) and product excitation are discussed, and the present results are compared with earlier investigations.
