A model for H2formation by reaction of H-atoms with the surface of carbonaceous grains is developed. Such reactions, which involve interstitial H-atoms at low grain temperature and H-atoms bonded to -CH, -CH2and -CH3groups at higher temperature, occur promptly on the collision of an H-atom with a grain surface. The rate of hydrogen formation and the efficiency of reaction depend on both gas kinetic and dust temperature. The rate coefficientR(cm3s−1) for H2formation using this prompt-reaction model (PRM) can be calculated from laboratory data and is consistent with measured values ofR. The dependence ofRon ambient conditions in interstellar clouds can be easily estimated from this prompt-reaction model.Ris found to be strongly dependent on gas kinetic temperatureTkand can exceed 10−17cm3s−1, even for warm dust, whenTk≿300 K.
