Abstract:
Yields of nitrogen from reaction (1) were used to determine the initial kinetic energy of hydrogen atoms produced by photolysis of HI and H2S in the presence of N2O.
H* + N2O->N2 + OH. (1)
The results show that the proportion of excited (52P±) iodine atoms formed by photolysis of HI at 279 nm is 0.11 ±0.14, and that 90±10 % of the residual energy following photolysis of H2S at 248 nm appears in translation of H and SH.
