Abstract

Flash photolysis of CH3CHO and H2CO in the presence of NO has been investigated by the intracavity laser spectroscopy technique. The decay of HNO formed by the reaction HCO + NO → HNO + CO was studied at NO pressures of 6.8–380 torr. At low NO pressure HNO was found to decay by the reaction HNO + HNO → N2O + H2O. The rate constant of this reaction was determined to be k1 = (1.5 ± 0.8) × 10−15 cm3/s. At high NO pressure the reaction HNO + NO → products was more important, and its rate constant was measured to be k2 = (5 ± 1.5) × 10−19 cm3/s. NO2 was detected as one of the products of this reaction. Alternative mechanisms for this reaction are discussed.
