Jv. Seeley et al., RATE CONSTANTS FOR THE REACTIONS OF CO3-(H2O)(N=0-5)- IMPLICATIONS FOR CIMS DETECTION OF SO2(SO2 ), Geophysical research letters, 24(11), 1997, pp. 1379-1382
The rate constants for the CO3-(H2O)(n) + SO; reactions were measured
for n = 0-5 using a variable temperature-selected ion flow tube. Tempe
rature dependences were measured for n = 0-3 over the following temper
ature ranges: n = 0, 158-550 K; n = 1, 158-270 K; n = 2, 158-193 K; n
= 3, 158-193 K. The n = 4, 5 rate constants were measured exclusively
at 158 K. Good agreement is found with previous measurements of the n
= 0 and 1 rate constants. Expressions are estimated for use in chemica
l ionization mass spectrometric detection of SO2 in the troposphere.
