Temperature dependence of the rate constant and product channels for the BrO + ClO reaction
We have measured the rate constant for the reactions BrO + ClO → Br + OClO (6a), BrO + ClO → Br + Cl + O2 (6b), and BrO + ClO → BrCl + O2 (6c) over the temperature range 241-408 K and found k6 = (8.2 ± 1.0) × 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s independent of temperature. Measurement of the individual product br...
