Abstract

The rate coefficients for the reaction OH + CH3CH2CH2OH -> products (k(1)) and OH + CH3CH(OH)CH3 -> products (k(2)) were measured by the pulsed-laser photolysis-laser-induced fluorescence technique between 237 and 376 K. Arrhenius expressions for k(1) and k(2) are as follows: k(1) = (6 2 +/- 0.8) x 10(-12) exp-(10 +/- 30)/T cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), with k(1) (298 K) = (5.90 +/- 0.56) x 10(-12) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), and k(2) = (3.2 +/- 0.3) x 10(-12) exp(150 +/- 20)/T cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), with k(2)(298) = (5.22 +/- 0.46) x 10(-12) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). The quoted uncertainties are at the 95% confidence level and include estimated systematic errors. The results are compared with those from previous measurements and rate coefficient expressions for atmospheric modeling are recommended. The absorption cross sections for n-propanol and iso-propartol at 184.9 nm were measured to be (8.89 +/- 0.44) x 10(-19) and (1.90 +/- 0.10) x 10(-18) cm(2) molecule(-1). respectively. The atmospheric implications of the degradation of n-propanol and iso-propanol are discussed. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 42: 10-24, 2010
