Reaction of energetic hydrogen atoms with 1-chloropropane

The reaction of photochemically generated energetic hydrogen atoms with 1-chloropropane, reaction (1), has been examined for translational energies of H* in the range 40 to 110 kJ mol^?1. Integral probabilities for reaction (1) have been determined, and the phenomenological threshold energy is 47 ± 10 kJ mol^?1. The moderating effect of CO₂ on reaction (1) for hydrogen atoms of initial energy 108 kJ mol^?1 has also been studied. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
