Abstract
The recombination of oxygen in large excess of argon has been studied between 300 and 10 000 °K by trajectory calculations. Reasonable agreement between the computed results and the experimental rate data was obtained by assuming that the interaction between oxygen and argon atoms was 0.3 kcal/mol. The present calculation also showed that the radical-molecule-complex mechanism was the major route to recombination below 1000 °K. At higher temperatures, the energy-transfer mechanism predominated. The vibrational and rotational energy distributions of the nascent product from the energy-transfer mechanism at 10 000 °K were found to be much broader than that from the radical-molecule-complex mechanism at 300 °K. However, the total energy distributions of the nascent product, if expressed in units of kT, were similar in both cases.
