Gas-phase oxidation of SO/sub 2/ in the ozone-olefin reactions was studied, and the yield of sulfuric acid aerosol was determined for various types of olefins under atmospheric pressure. No sulfur-containing compounds other than sulfuric acid was detected. Pressure dependence of the yield of H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ was studied for the first time for trans-2-butene. The yield decreased to zero as the total pressure of air was decreased. This fact supports the contention that only a stabilized Criegee intermediate can undergo bimolecular reactions. Stabilized fractions of CH/sub 2/O0 and CH/sub 3/CHOO in the ozone reaction of ethylene and trans-2-butene under atmospheric pressure are 0.390 +/- 0.053 and 0.185 +/- 0.028, respectively. The yield of H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ was as low as 0.052 +/- 0.013, 0.032 +/- 0.024, and 0.029 +/- 0.015 for cyclopentane, cyclohexene, and cycloheptene, respectively. The yield of H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ for ..cap alpha..- and ..beta..-pinene was 0.125 +/- 0.040 and 0.249 +/- 0.024, respectively. The rate constant ratio of decomposition of the initially formed hot Criegee intermediate to its collisional stabilization was obtained to be (3.9 +/- 0.8) x 10/sup 18/ molecules/cm/sup 3/ for trans-2-butene.
