Experiment

Name: Kroll Lab_20220522_Hydrogen Peroxide/Nitric Oxide/Acetonitrile/Dimethyl Disulfide_Hydroxyl radical_Sodium nitrate
Date: 2022-05-22

Organization
Kroll Lab

Chamber
Kroll main chamber

Experiment Set
DMSO and DMDS oxidation experiments

Goals
Measure product distribution from the oxidation of DMDS under low NOx conditions, perturbing halfway through the experiment with an addition of NO as a source of NOx

Summary
DMDS oxidized under low NOx conditions, perturbing halfway through the experiment with an addition of NO as a source of NOx. This is "Experiment 5" in Goss and Kroll, ACP, 2023 (Submitted).

Additional Notes
Note that NOx and ozone data are not dilution corrected.
