Mass spectrometer calibration and temperature ratio reaction point/measurement point (see E1).

b

Ratio MS signal reaction point/measurement point (see E1).

c

Weighted least squares fir of k′ vs. [CH3OH] (Fig. 3), where the uncertainty of k′ is derived from the weighted least squares fits of the signal decays (Fig. 2).
