Abstract
| - The rate constant for the reaction of O2+ with N2 to produce NO+ plus NO has been measured at 423, 523,and 623 K in a turbulent ion flow tube. Much improved upper limits for this reaction at the three temperaturesare 2, 4, and 10 × 10-21 cm3 s-1, respectively. These results should render this reaction irrelevant whenmodeling all plasmas involving atmospheric gases.
