  • Numerical Simulation of Plasma Kinetics in Low-Pressure Discharge in Mixtures of Helium and Xenon with Iodine Vapours
    12 Numerical Simulation of Plasma Kinetics in Low-Pressure Discharge in Mixtures of Helium and Xenon with Iodine Vapours Anatolii Shchedrin and Anna Kalyuzhnaya Institute of Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Ukraine 1. Introduction Due to ecological problems related to the utilization of gas-discharge ultraviolet (UV) mercury vapour lamps widely used in lighting technology, photochemistry, and photomedicine, there arises a need for developing new mercury-free sources of UV radiation using electron bands of rare-gas monohalides and halogen molecules as well as spectral lines of their atoms (Lomaev et al., 2003). The most high-power mercury-free lamps are UV emitters with “chlorine - noble gas” active media emitting on transitions of the excimer molecules XeCl (308 nm) and KrCl (222 nm). The use of aggressive chlorine molecules in the gas mixtures of such emitters results in a comparatively low mixture life (1- 100 hours), which impedes their wide application in various optical technologies. It is mainly due to the absorption of chlorine by open metal electrodes (especially strongly heated cathode) and its heterophase chemical reaction with a quartz discharge tube accompanied by the formation of polymer compounds (chlorosiloxanes). That is why the replacement of chlorine molecules by less aggressive iodine ones in the working media of excilamps represents an urgent task. Ultraviolet radiation of glow discharge plasma in mixtures of helium with iodine vapours that is still transparent to air is mainly concentrated in the spectral ranges 175-210 nm and 320-360 nm. The mixture life of such lamps reaches 103 hours (Lomaev & Tarasenko, 2002; Shuaibov et al., 2005a, 2005b).

  • 3. Introduction to Reactive Molecular Collisions
    3. Introduction to reactive molecular collisions We examine in this chapter how the motion of the reactants as they approach each other governs chemical reactivity. This allows us to use a two-body point of view where the internal structure of the colliding specie is not explicitly recognized. All that we can do therefore is lead the reactants up to a reaction. But we will not be able to describe the chemical rearrangement itself nor to address such questions as energy disposal in the products. Chapter 5 takes up these themes. On the other hand, without the approach of the reactants there cannot be a bimolecular reaction. The tools already at our disposal are sufficient to discuss this approach motion. As expected, the striking distance that we have called the impact parameter will be a key player. We do all of this in section 3.2. What we will obtain is information about the dependence of the reaction cross section on the collision energy. In chemical kinetics one characterizes the role of energy in chemical reactivity by the temperature dependence of the reaction rate constant. In section 3.1 we review the input from chemical kinetics-the Arrhenius representation of the rate constant-then go from the rate constant to the reaction cross section. Next we go in the opposite direction, from the microscopic reaction cross section to the macroscopic rate constant. What we obtain thereby is the Tolman interpretation of the activation energy as the (mean) excess energy of those collisions that lead to reaction. MRD Chapter 3 page 1 © R D Levine (2003) 3.1.

Introduction Chemical reaction kinetics deals with the rates of chemical processes. Any chemical process may be broken down into a sequence of one or more single-step processes known either as elementary processes, elementary reactions, or elementary steps. Elementary reactions usually involve either a single reactive collision between two molecules, which we refer to as a a bimolecular step, or dissociation/isomerisation of a single reactant molecule, which we refer to as a unimolecular step.

What is the nature of the forces at play in chemical reactions? What is the nature of the potential energy surface(s)? Outline plan: 1. Introduction 2. Potential energy surfaces 3. Experimental techniques - initial states 4. Experimental techniques - final states 5. Elastic and Inelastic scattering 6. Reactive scattering 7. Controlling reagents and characterizing products 8. Probing the transition state. Types of encounter Cross-sections can be defined and measured for many different types of collision We will consider three categories of collisions (see Professor Vallance’s lectures): (a) Elastic scattering: conserves kinetic energy, leads to a change in direction. (b) Inelastic scattering: leads to a change in internal energy of the colliders. (c) Reactive scattering: leads to a rearrangement of bonds. Apart from today’s lecture we will focus on reactive collisions. The motivation is to understand the forces operating in molecular collisions. Elastic scattering Simple measurement of a cross-section Example of a ‘beam-gas’ experiment. l I 0 I detector molecular beamofA lowpressure ofB When molecules of A collide with B they are deflected. This leads to attenuation of the molecular beam of A.

  • A Multichannel Harpoon Model for Reactive Quenching of Xe 5P56p by Cl2 *
    x, CONF-8705246--2 DE88 004263 A Multichannel Harpoon Model for Reactive Quenching of Xe 5p56p by Cl2 * M. R. Bruce, W. B. Layne, and J. W. Keto Physics Department The Univ. of Texas at Austin Austin, Tx. 78712 ABSTRACT A harpoon reaction model employing multiple crossings based on the formalism of Bauer et al * and Gislason and Sachs2 is developed to explain the large cross sections (a ~ 400 A2) measured for the reaction Xe 5p56p + Cl2- The model calculates the Landau-Zener transition probability for each intermediate ionic crossing with the covalent surface. The transition matrix elements are represented as a product of the electronic interaction (modeled by the empirical result of Olson et al)3 and a Frank-Condon factor for the CI2—>Cl2~ transition. The model predicts near unit probability for a transition to the ionic surface for impact parameters less than 20 Bohr. Once transfer occurs, the pair is captured by dissociation of Cl2~ to form XeCl*. The large temperature dependence observed qualitatively in the experiments is explained by the increased cross section for vibrationally excited G2. A simple model for orbiting collisions is used to estimate the effect of termolecular collisions.

  • Understanding Chemical Reactions at the Molecular Level
    This page intentionally left blank Molecular Reaction Dynamics Molecular Reaction Dynamics is a brand new version of the text by Levine and Bernstein. The book delivers an updated treatment of this fundamental topic. An appreciation of how chemical reactions occur and their control is essential to chemists and to those in interdisciplinary fields such as materials and nanoscience, drug design, and astrochemistry. The first half of the book describes experimental techniques for initiating and probing reaction dynamics and the essential insights gained. The second part explores key areas including photoselective chemistry, stereochemistry, chemical reactions in real time, and chemical reaction dynamics in solutions and interfaces. Typical of the new challenges are molecular machines, enzyme action, and molecular control. With problem sets included, this book is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying chemical reaction dynamics, as well as physical chemistry, biophysics, and materials science.

Brooks* Department of Chemistry & Rice Quantum Institute, Rice University, Houston, Texas 77251 (Received: February 12. 1991) K+ ions have been detected from the intersection of a beam of K atoms (5-30 eV) with beams of various simple molecules, such as CH3Br and CF,Br, which had been oriented prior to the collision. Production of ions in the collision is found to be highly dependent on orientation. The effect is most pronounced near threshold (4eV) and almost disappears at higher (30 eV) energies. Attack at the "reactive' halogen end produces the most ions, regardless of the polarity of that end. For each molecule, the reactive end seems to have the lower threshold energy. These observations may be a result of the electron being transferred to a specific end of the molecule, but the experiments measure only the net result of an electron transfer followed by the separation of the ions.

  • FACTORS AFFECTING RATE of REACTION -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
    FACTORS AFFECTING RATE OF REACTION 1)Chemical nature of the reactants a freshly exposed metallic sodium surface furnishes almost instantly when explored to air and moisture – very fast reaction . Reaction between iron and moisture (air) to form rust is slow. Reason- iron do not lose electron easily. It depends on the inherent tendencies of atoms ,molecules, or ions to undergo changes in chemical bonds. 2) Ability of the reactants to come in contact with each other. For reaction to occur the reactants must collide with each other: (a) homogeneous reaction –when reactants are in the same phase, e.g liquid, gas. (b) heterogeneous reaction –reactant only able to meet at the interface. Rate of reaction dictated by the area of contact between the phases i.e surface area plays an important role. Assoc.

Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of reactions without itself being used up. Best example is enzymes. ZERO –ORDER REACTION Say our reaction of interest is, aA + bB → products No need to specify the products since order of reaction is defined interms of the reactant concentration.
