Name: Ziemann_20160620_resorcinol/Nitric oxide/Methyl nitrite/ammonia_Hydroxyl radical_Dioctyl Sebacate_Resorcinol + OH/NOx_3_NH3
Date: 2016-06-20

Organization
Ziemann

Chamber
Janet (Chamber 1)

Experiment Set
Resorcinol

Goals
Determine the chemistry resulting in hydroxybenzoquinone increasing in concentration after photo-oxidation ends.

Summary
300 ppb of resorcinol was added as 2 ppm of CH3ONO, NO was photolyzed to generate OH radicals. After 60 min, 200 ppb of NH3 was added to titrate HNO3 produced from OH + NO2.

Experiment Set Details

Name: Resorcinol
Time format and units:
Description:
Identifying gas-phase and particle-phase products and secondary organic aerosol yields of reactions of 1,3-benzenediol (resorcinol). Goals were to determine the impact of isomers on chemistry (compared to that of catechol) and effects in wildfires. Additionally, to determine method of investigating semi-volatile compounds that would otherwise partition entirely to chamber walls.
