Rate coefficients for decay of C12 α-AHs derived from α-Tp ozonolysis in ethanol:water solutions at pH 4.5 at different temperaturesa.
| Temperature (K) | k pH 4.5 (s−1) | τ 1/e (minutes) |
|---|---|---|
| 288 | (7.2 ± 0.5) × 10−4 | 23 |
| 293 | (1.1 ± 0.2) × 10−3 | 15 |
| 298 | (1.8 ± 0.2) × 10−3 | 9 |
| 303 | (2.3 ± 0.3) × 10−3 | 7 |
Experimental conditions: [α-Tp]0 = 1 mM, [NaCl]0 = 0.2 mM, [O3]0 = 0.06 mM, pH 4.5. The k values are means ± SDs for three independent experiments. τ1/e = 1/k.
