The kinetics of the reaction between perhydroxyl radicals, HO2, have been studied at 23. The radicals were generated in rapidly flowing water containing dissolved oxygen by an electron beam from a Van de Graaff ac-celerator, and the quantity remaining at any time after irradiation was determined by rapid mixing with a solu-tion containing tetranitromethane, which reacts with HO2 radicals. The rate constants found were kso,+ ho2= 2.2 X 106 Af-1 sec.-1 and ko2-+ oy= 1.5 X 107 Af-1 sec.-1, and the pK of H02 was found to be 4.4±0.4. Another intermediate, believed to be H203 on kinetic grounds, was found to exhibit pseudo-first-order disap-pearance, the first-order rate constant being a function of acidity. This intermediate was found using ferrous sulfate as the scavenger solution. The half-life of H2O3 reaches a maximum of 2 sec. in 0.02 Af (H+), decreasing to less than 0.1 sec. in 1 and 10-4 M (B>). The kinetics are shown to agree well with acid-and base-catalyzed decomposition of H2O3 to form H20+(X.
