Abstract

The rates of the exchange reactions of chlorine atoms with hydrogen chloride and with deuterium chloride were measured as a function of temperature. Chlorine atoms were produced by photodecomposition of chlorine gas and their relative concentration was monitored by their reaction with deuterium: Cl+D ₂→DCl+D. The temperature dependence of the logarithm of the ratio of rates was found to be nonlinear in the temperature range of 30° to 150°C. Various attempts to calculate the isotope effect assuming different types of tunneling are discussed.
