The overall reaction of hydroxide radical with hydrogen gas

The overall reaction of hydroxide radical with hydrogen gas occurs as follows OH g H g H O g H g This reaction plays a significant role in the chemistry of the earth s atmosphere by eventually converting OH to HO2 through the subsequent reaction of H with O HO2 is involved in the destruction of stratospheric ozone J Phys Chem A 2006 110 6978 The rate constants for the reaction of OH with H were found to be 1 21x107 L mol 1 s1 at 79 C and 3 43 106 L mol 1 s1 at 14 C Part A Determine the activation energy for the reaction of OH with H2 reaction O 16 3 kJ mol 1 O 21 2 kJ mol 1 O 17 6 kJ mol 1 O21 2 kJ mol 1 16 3 kJ mol 1 Submit Request Answer
