Hydrogen abstraction from hydrocarbons by atomic chlorine is a mechanism for Cl- loss in the atmosphere. Consider the reaction of Cl. with ethane: C2H6(g) + Cl (g) → CzHs · (g) + HCI(g) This reaction was studied in the laboratory, and the following data were obtained: T(K) 270 370 470 570 670 k(x10-10-25-) 3.43 3.77 3.99 4.13 4.23 a. Determine the Arrhenius parameters for this reaction. b. At the tropopause, the temperature is roughly 220 K. What do you expect the rate constant to be at this temperature? c. Using the Arrhenius parameters obtained in part (a), determine the Eyring parameters AH and Ast for this reaction at 220 K. E E.
