HBr uptake on thin ice films was examined using laser-induced thermal desorption (LITD), temperatureprogrammed desorption (TPD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy techniques. LITD was used to determine the uptake coefficient in situ during low HBr exposures as a function of HBr pressure and ice film temperature. The HBr uptake coefficient on ice was γ ) 0.61 ( 0.06 at 140 K and γ ) 0.24 ( 0.05 at 100 K at low HBr coverages for HBr pressures ranging from 3 × 10 -8 to 1.4 × 10 -7 Torr. TPD and FTIR were used to examine HBr uptake on ice at higher HBr exposures. TPD studies observed that thin ice films exposed to HBr at 140 K saturated with HBr after large exposures and formed an HBr hydrate with an H 2 O:HBr ratio of ∼3.6:1. FTIR measurements monitored the development of the H 3 O + bending vibration versus HBr exposure on ice. Saturation of the integrated absorbance for this H 3 O + bending vibration was observed after large HBr exposures. The uptake of HBr on ice also had a profound effect on H 2 O desorption from ice. H 2 O desorbed at higher temperatures in the presence of HBr. The zero-order kinetics for H 2 O desorption from pure ice were E d ) 13.4 kcal mol -1 and ν 0 ) 1.9 × 10 32 cm -2 s -1 . The zero-order kinetics for H 2 O desorption from the HBr hydrate formed after saturation HBr exposures were E d ) 10.6 kcal mol -1 and ν 0 ) 6.3 × 10 27 cm -2 s -1 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
