Absolute rate of the reaction of O/3-P/ with hydrogen sulfide over the temperature range 263 to 495 K

The technique of flash photolysis coupled with time resolved detection of O via resonance fluorescence has been used to obtain rate constants for the reaction of O(3-P) with H2S at temperatures from 263 to 495 K and at pressures in the range 10-400 torr. Under conditions where secondary reactions are avoided, the measured rate constants for the primary step obey the Arrhenius equation k = (7.24 plus or minus 1.07) x 10 to the -12th exp(-3300 plus or minus 100/1.987 T) cu cm/molecules/s. Experiments with D2S show that the reaction exhibits a primary isotope effect, in support of a hydrogen abstraction mechanism.

Absolute rate constants for O + NO + N2 yields NO2 + N2 from 217-500 K

Rate constants for the reaction O + NO + N2 yields NO2 + N2 from 217 to 500 K were obtained by a method combining the flash photolysis of NO with the time resolved detection of O by means of resonance fluorescence. The rate constants were found to obey the Arrhenius equation k = (15.5 plus or minus 2.0) x 10 to the -33rd exp((1160 plus or minus 70)/1.987 T) cm to the 6th/squared molecule/s, while the temperature dependence of k is described by k = 3.80 x 10 to the -27th/T to the 1.82 cm to the 6th/squared molecule/s.

Absolute rate of the reaction of C l(2P) with methane from 200-500 K

Rate constants for the reaction of atomic chlorine with methane have been measured from 200-500K using the flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique. When the results from fourteen equally spaced experimental determinations are plotted in Arrhenius form a definite curvature is noted. The results are compared to previous work and are theoretically discussed.

Absolute rate of the reaction of Cl(p-2) with molecular hydrogen from 200 - 500 K

Rate constants for the reaction of atomic chlorine with hydrogen are measured from 200 - 500 K using the flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique. The results are compared with previous work and are discussed with particular reference to the equilibrium constant for the reaction and to relative rate data for chlorine atom reactions. Theoretical calculations, using the BEBO method with tunneling, give excellent agreement with experiment.

Absolute calibration of the RADSCAT scatterometer using precision spheres

Tests using precision sphere targets suspended from balloons were conducted to calibrate the received-power/transmitted-power tatio of the RADSCAT scatterometer. Comparisons were made of these measured results with theoretical return from spheres. The RADSCAT scatterometer measurements at 13.9 GHz should be corrected by -2.4 dB, and those at 9.3 GHz, by -4.3 dB. The techniques described should be generally applicable to calibration of scatterometers where measurement precision is of prime importance. Inferred from the magnitude of these RADSCAT corrections was the present state of technology in building precision scatterometers.

Absolute rate constant for the reaction of atomic chlorine with hydrogen peroxide vapor over the temperature range 265-400 K

Rate constants for the reaction of atomic chlorine with hydrogen peroxide were measured from 265-400 K using the flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique. Analytical techniques were developed to measure H2O2 under reaction conditions. Due to ambiguity in the interpretation of the analytical results, the data combine to give two equally acceptable representations of the temperature dependence. The results are compared to previous work at 298 K and are theoretically discussed in terms of the mechanism of the reaction. Additional experiments on the H + H2O2 reaction at 298 and 359 K are compared with earlier results from this laboratory and give a slightly revised bimolecular rate constant.

Absolute rate constants for O + NO + M /= He, Ne, Ar, Kr/ yields NO2 + M from 217-500 K

Rate constants for the reaction O + NO + M yields NO2 + M have been obtained at temperatures from 217-500 K in four different rare gases by a method combining flash photolysis with time resolved detection of O(3-P) by resonance fluorescence. The measured rate constants in Arrhenius form are (10.8 plus or minus 1.2) x 10 to the -33rd exp(1040 plus or minus 60/1.987 T) for helium; (9.01 plus or minus 1.16) x 10 to the -33rd exp(1180 plus or minus 70/1.987 T) for argon; (9.33 plus or minus 1.10) x 10 to the -33rd exp(1030 plus or minus 60/1.987 T) for neon; and (9.52 plus or minus 1.10) x 10 to the -33rd exp(1140 plus or minus 70/1.987 T) for krypton in units of cm to the 6th/sq molecule/s.

Absolute rate of the reaction of Cl/2P/ with methane from 200-500 K

Rate constants for the reaction Cl + CH4 yields HCl + CH3 were measured in the range 200-500 K by the plot flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique. An Arrhenius plot of the mean rate constant observed at 14 equally spaced temperatures is best fit by the expression k = 5.44 times 10 to the minus 19th times T to the exponent 2.50 times exp(-608/T) cu cm per molecule per sec. Appropriate expressions are also given for the rate constant in the two ranges 200-299 K and 299-500 K. These results are compared with a number of other existing determinations of the rate constant by other methods and in different temperature ranges. Most discrepancies are attributed to the nonlinear Arrhenius behavior.

Apollo 17, Station 6 boulder sample 76255 - Absolute petrology of breccia matrix and igneous clasts

The matrix of 76255 is the finest-grained, most clast-laden, impact-melt polymict breccia sampled from the Station 6 boulder. The paper speculates on how the matrix of 76255 fits into and enhances existing thermal models of breccia lithification. Emphasis is on the detailed petrology of five lithic clasts, two of which display mineralogical and textural affinities to mare basalts, while three, a gabbro, a norite, and a troctolite are considered primitive plutonic rocks.

Absolute radiometric measurements of the emission from a BRV source at 34 nm

The paper reports measurements of the time integrated spectral intensity near 34 nm of a BRV (Balloffet-Romand-Vodar) source of emission continuum. The transmittance profile of the combined filters is presented and the percent efficiency (electrons per photon) of the calibration system is given as a function of wavelength. It is noted that the BRV source provides an excellent emission continuum for XUV spectroscopy.
