Kinetics of the Reaction of Chlorine Atoms with Hydrogen Bromide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100277a047

The kinetics of the reaction Cl+HBr->HCl+Br have been studied over the temperature range 267-333 K by using the very low pressure reactor (VLPR) technique.The measured rate constant is 3.4*10^-12 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1.The reaction rate was found to be independent of temperature.The A factor for the reaction is estimated on the basis of a tight transition state and agrees well with the measured rate constant.
