Popis: | The degradation reactions of isoprene initiated by chlorine atom were investigated using a fast-flow reactor coupled to chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS) detection. The kinetic studies were performed in the pressure range of 5 to 10 Torr and at 298 ± 2 K. The rate constant for the reaction between Cl and isoprene was measured to be (4.0 ± 0.3) × 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1. Using the CIMS method, we were able to directly detect the products of the Cl−isoprene reaction, HCl and Cl−isoprene adduct. A branching ratio of (17.4 ± 4.0)% was determined for the HCl formation. We have also measured the rate constant for the reaction of the Cl−isoprene adduct with molecular oxygen to form the β-chloroalkenylperoxy radicals, with a value of (1.0 ± 0.3) × 10-14 cm3 molecule-1 s-1. Atmospheric implications of the present experimental results are discussed. |
