| Abstract: | The Cl atom-initiated oxidation of CH2Cl2 and CH3Cl was studied using the FTIR method in the photolysis of mixtures typically containing Cl2 and the chlorinated methanes at 1 torr each in 700 torr air. The results obtained from product analysis were in general agreement with those reported by Sanhueza and Heicklen. The relative rate constant for the Cl atom reactions of CH2Cl2 and CH3Cl was determined to be k(Cl +CH3Cl)/k(Cl + CH2Cl2) = 1.31 ± 0.14 (2σ) at 298 ± 2 K. |
