Title:   Temperature and pressure dependent rate coefficients for the reaction of Hg with Cl and the reaction of Cl with Cl: A pulsed laser photolysis-pulsed laser induced fluorescence study
Journal:   J. Phys. Chem. A
Volume:   109
Page(s):   7732 - 7741
Year:   2005
Reference type:   Journal article
Squib:   2005DON/BAU7732-7741

Reaction:   Hg + N2 + ClMercury chloride + N2
Reaction order:   3
Temperature:   243 - 293 K
Pressure:  0.27 - 0.80 bar
Rate expression:   2.2x10-32 [±5.0x10-33 cm6/molecule2 s] e5654 [±3326 J/mole]/RT
Category:  Experiment
Data type:   Absolute value measured directly
Pressure dependence:   Rate constant is pressure dependent
Experimental procedure:   Static or low flow - Data taken vs time
Excitation technique:   Flash photolysis (laser or conventional)
Time resolution:   In real time
Analytical technique:   Laser induced fluorescence
Comments:   Hg generated by a mercury permeation tube and elemental mercury and molecular chlorine monitored in situ by UV photometry.
Third-order rate constants calculated by forcing fits through the origin. The difference between forced and unforced fits varied from 10% for the data at 293 K to 25% at 243 K.
