Title: Kinetic Study of the Reactions of CaO with H2O, CO2, O2, and O3: Implications for Calcium Chemistry in the Mesosphere Journal: J. Phys. Chem. A Volume: 105 Page(s): 7047 - 7056 Year: 2001 Reference type: Journal article Squib: 2001PLA/ROL7047-7056
Reaction:
CO2 + CaO → CaCO3 CaO was generated by 193 nm excimer laser photolysis of Ca(acac)2 calclium acetyl acetonate. The time decay of CaO was monitored by LIF pumping at 385.9 nm and detecting at >693 nm. O3 was monitored by absorption at 253.7 nm using a mercury lamp. Absolute uncertainties in rate constants were estimated at 22%. RRKM analysis was used to extrapolate to high and low pressure rate expressions. Reactions appeared to be slightly in fall-off, thus high pressure rate coefficients should be good, while low pressure rate parameters are less certain. Quantum DFT calculations B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) to calculated geometries, vibrational frequencies, and energies of reactants, products, and transition states and to determine reaction pathways.
