Abstract
The reaction between excess atomic oxygen and formaldehyde in the gas phase has been studied in a flow system at 300 K using product analysis, e.p.r. and chemiluminescence. The initial step (15) has a rate coefficient of (9.0±1.0)E+10 cm3/mol s. By comparing the reaction products with those of reaction of oxygen atoms with ethylene where the initial steps are reactions (10) and (25), it is shown that the relative constants of subsequent reactions (13), (14), and (55) are in the ratio k(13):k(14):k(55)=0.54:0.46:4.0
