A re-evaluation of the ClO/Cl2O2 equilibrium constant based on stratospheric in-situ observations
In-situ measurements of ClO and its dimer carried out during the SOLVE II/VINTERSOL-EUPLEX and ENVISAT Validation campaigns in the Arctic winter 2003 suggest that the thermal equilibrium between the dimer formation and dissociation is shifted significantly towards the monomer compared to the current JPL 2002 recommendation. Detailed analysis of observations made in thermal equilibrium allowed t...
متن کاملThe potential impact of ClOx radical complexes on polar stratospheric ozone loss processes
The importance of radical-molecule complexes for atmospheric chemistry has been discussed in recent years. In particular, the existence of a ClO·O2 and ClOx water radical complexes like ClO·H2O, OClO·H2O, OClO·(H2O)2, and ClOO·H2O could play a role in enhancing the ClO dimer (Cl2O2) formation and therefore may constitute an important intermediate in polar stratospheric ozone loss cycles. Model ...
متن کاملConstraining the chlorine monoxide (ClO)/chlorine peroxide (ClOOCl) equilibrium constant from Aura Microwave Limb Sounder measurements of nighttime ClO.
The primary ozone loss process in the cold polar lower stratosphere hinges on chlorine monoxide (ClO) and one of its dimers, chlorine peroxide (ClOOCl). Recently, analyses of atmospheric observations have suggested that the equilibrium constant, K(eq), governing the balance between ClOOCl formation and thermal decomposition in darkness is lower than that in the current evaluation of kinetics da...
متن کاملBond strength of chlorine peroxide.
The bond strength of chlorine peroxide (ClOOCl) is studied by photoionization mass spectrometry. The experimental results are obtained from the fragmentation threshold yielding ClO+, which is observed at 11.52 +/- 0.025 eV. The O-O bond strength D(o) is derived from this value in comparison to the first ionization energy of ClO, yielding D(o)298 = 72.39 +/- 2.8 kJ mol(-1). The present work prov...
متن کاملKinetics and Mechanism of the Decomposition of Chlorous Acid
The kinetics of decomposition of aqueous chlorous acid has been reinvestigated at pH 0.7-1.9, ionic strength 1.0 M (HSO4/SO4), and temperature 25.0 ( 0.1 °C. Optical absorbances were collected in the 240-450 nm wavelength range for up to ∼90% decomposition for time series lasting as long as 2 days. The number of absorbing species was investigated by matrix rank analysis; no absorbing intermedia...
