Fig. 6: Predicted γ of N2O5 in pure water as a function of Rp.

Predicted reactive uptake coefficients of N2O5 (γ) in pure water as a function of aerosol particle radius (40–130 nm) by setting the transmission coefficient equal to the upper (i.e., kt = 0.5) and lower (i.e., kt = 0.1) extremes. Experimental upper and lower hydrolysis rate of N2O5 are represented by dashed line. The data for experimentally measured γ were adapted from refs. 14,15,43.
