Abstract
The ratio of rate constants kF+DBr/kF+H2 has been determined by a discharge-flow-mass spectrometric technique and was found to exhibit a linear Arrhenius temperature dependence in the range 210-298 K. Based on the linear dependence reported for kF+H2 , it is concluded that kF+DBr also exhibits a linear Arrhenius temperature dependence. The present results for kF+DBr are consistent with earlier results for kF+HBr and confirm our earlier conclusion that the mechanism of the reaction is probably a direct hydrogen atom abstraction. Results concerning the kinetic isotope effect kF+HBr/kF+DBr are also presented and discussed.
