Heterogeneous Reaction of Gaseous Ozone with Aqueous Iodide in the Presence of Aqueous Organic Speciesud

摘要

The fast reaction of gaseous ozone, O_3(g), with aqueous iodide, I−(aq), was found to be affected by environmentally relevant cosolutes in experiments using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) for the detection of gaseous and interfacial products, respectively. Iodine, I_2(g), and iodine monoxide radical, IO(g), product yields were suppressed in the presence of a few millimolar phenol (pK_a = 10.0), p-methoxyphenol (10.2), or p-cresol (10.3) at pH ≥ 3 but unaffected by salicylic acid (pK_(a2) = 13.6), tert-butanol, n-butanol, or malonic acid. We infer that reactive anionic phenolates inhibit I_2(g) and IO(g) emissions by competing with I−(aq) for O_3(g) at the air/water interface. ESIMS product analysis supports this mechanism. Atmospheric implications are discussed
