The reaction of O(1D) with CH4

The room-temperature photolysis of N₂O (10–100 torr) at 2139 Å to produce O(¹D) has been studied in the presence of CH₄ (10–891 torr). The reactions of O(¹D) with CH₄ were found to be The method of chemical difference was used to measure the rate constant ratio k₄/(k₂ + k₃), where reactions (2) and (3) are The CH₃ radicals produced in reaction (4) react with the O₂ and NO produced in reactions (2) and (3). Thus, near the endpoint of the internal titration, ?{C₂H₆} gives an accurate measure of k₄/(k₂ + k₃). For the translationally energetic O(¹D) atoms produced in the photolysis, k₄/(k₂ + k₃) = 2.28 ± 0.20. However, if He is added to remove the excess translational energy, then k₄/(k₂ + k₃) drops to 1.35 ± 0.3.
