Rates of reaction for cyclopropane and difluoromethoxydifluoromethane with hydroxyl radicals

The rate of reaction, Arrhenius preexponential factors, and activation energies of cyclopropane and difluoromethoxydifluoromethane, reacting with hydroxyl radical were measured by a relative method. Ethane was used as a reference and eight measurements were obtained in the range from 25 to 186 degree C that yielded an Arrhenius fit for the reaction of cyclopropane with hydroxyl radical.
