| Authors: | Simon W North Ruian Fei Trevor J Sears Gregory E Hall |
| Abstract: | Time-resolved frequency-modulation spectroscopy is shown to be an effective method for measuring the rates of gas-phase reactions. As an example, the rate constant for the reaction of CN with C2H4 at 298 K is measured to be 2.5 ± 0.2 × 10−10 cm3s−1, in good agreement with other literature values. The efficiency and sensitivity of this technique will be of interest to the chemical kineticist. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
