| Abstract: | The rate constant of the reaction Cl + CH3OH (k1) has been measured in 500–950 Torr of N2 over the temperature range 291–475 K. The rate constant determination was carried out using the relative rate technique with C2H6 as the reference compound. Experiments were performed by irradiating mixtures of CH3OH, C2H6, Cl2, and N2 with UV light from a fluorescent lamp whose intensity peaked near 360 nm. The resultant temperature‐dependent rate expression is k1 = 8.6 (±1.3) × 10?11 exp[?167 (±60)/T] cm3 molecule?1 s?1. Error limits represent data scatter (2σ) in the current experiments and do not include error in the reference rate constant. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 42: 113–116, 2010 |
