Abstract

AbstractThe dark reaction of NOx and H2O vapor in 1 atm of air was studied for the purpose of elucidating the recently discussed unknown radical source in smog chambers. Nitrous acid and nitric oxide were found to be formed by the reaction of NO2 and H2O in an evacuable and bakable smog chamber. No nitric acid was observed in the gas phase. The reaction is not stoichiometric and is thought to be a heterogeneous wall reaction. The reaction rate is first order with respect to NO2 and H2O, and the concentrations of HONO and NO initially increase linearly with time. The same reaction proceeds with a different rate constant in a quartz cell, and the reaction of NO2 and H218O gave H18ONO exclusively. Taking into consideration the heterogeneous reaction of NO2 and H2O, the upper limit of the rate constant of the third‐order reaction NO + NO2 + H2O → 2HONO was deduced to be (3.0 ± 1.4) × 10−10 ppm−2‐min−1, which is one order of magnitude smaller than the previously reported value. Nitrous acid formed by the heterogeneous dark reaction of NO2 and H2O should contribute significantly to both an initially present HONO and a continuous supply of OH radicals by photolysis in smog chamber experiments.
