The reaction of atomic hydrogen with O 2 ( 1 Δ g ) has been investigated as a function of temperature, using a fast discharge‐flow apparatus equipped for EPR detection of free radical species. The rate constant for the overall reaction was measured as (1.46 ± 0.49) × 10 −11 exp(‐4000 ± 200 cal/mol/ RT ) cm 3 /s. Evidence is presented which suggests that the reaction occurs principally via abstraction, H + O 2 ( 1 Δ g ) → OH + O, rather than via physical quenching, H + O 2 ( 1 Δ g ) → H + O 2 (X 3 Σ g − ).
