Rate contants for CF{sub 3} + H{sub 2} {yields} CF{sub 3}H + H and CF{sub 3}H + H {yields} CF{sub 3} + H{sub 2} reactions in the temperature range 1100-1600 K.
The shock tube technique coupled with H-atom atomic resonance absorption spectrometry has been used to study the reactions (1) CF{sub 3} + H{sub 2} {yields} CF{sub 3}H + H and (2) CF{sub 3}H + H{yields} CF{sub 3} + H{sub 2} over the temperature ranges 1168-1673 K and 1111-1550 K, respectively. The results can be represented by the Arrhenius expressions k1 = 2.56 x 10{sup -11} exp(-8549K/T) and k2 = 6.13 x 10{sup -11} exp(-7364K/T), both in cm3 molecule-1 s-1. Equilibrium constants were calculated from the two Arrhenius expressions in the overlapping temperature range, and good agreement was obtained with the literature values. The rate constants for reaction 2 were converted into rate constants for reaction 1 using literature equilibrium constants. These data are indistinguishable from direct k1 measurements, and an Arrhenius fit for the joint set is k{sub 1} = 1.88 x 10{sup -11} exp(-8185K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The CF{sub 3} + H{sub 2} {yields} CF{sub 3}H + H reaction was further modeled using conventional transition-state theory, which included ab initio electronic structure determinations of reactants, transition state, and products.
