A relative rate method has been used to determine rate constants for the gas-phase reactions of a series of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) at 298 ± 2 K and atmospheric pressure of air. Based on a rate constant for the reaction of the Cl atom with CH4 of (1.0 ± 0.2) - 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298 K, the following Cl atom reaction rate constants (in units of 10-15 cm3 molecule-1 s-1) were obtained: CH3F, 340 ± 70; CH3CHF2, 240 ± 50; CH2FCl, 110 ± 25; CHFCl2, 21 ± 4; CHCl2CF3, 14 ± 3; CHFClCF3, 2.7 ± 0.6; CH3CFCl2, 2.4 ± 0.5; CHF2Cl, 2.0 ± 0.4; CH2FCF3, 1.6 ± 0.3; CH3CF2Cl, 0.37 ± 0.08; and CHF2CF3, 0.24 ± 0.05. These Cl atom reaction rate constants are compared with literature data and with the corresponding OH radical reaction rate constants. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
