Fig. 4: Arrhenius plot of the rate coefficients for the reaction CH2OO + HCHO.

The blue circles represent experimental data and all of data are fitted (red solid line) with the Arrhenius expression, kCH2OO+HCHO (T) = (1.91 ± 0.15) × 10−13 exp[(1.81 ± 0.04) kcal mol−1/RT]. Here, each rate coefficient is the fitted slope of the plot of kobs against [HCHO]0 of each experimental set at different conditions. The error bars include the errors of the fitted slope and determined [HCHO]0.
