The absolute rate constant for the OH + HCl reaction has been measured from 240 to 295 K utilizing the techniques of laser/flash photolysis‐resonance fluorescence. The HCl concentrations were monitored continuously by ultraviloet and infrared spectrophotometry. The results can be fit to the following Arrhenius expression:\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$k_1 = (4.6{\rm } \pm {\rm }0.3){\rm } \times {\rm }10^{ - 12} \exp [- (500{\rm } \pm {\rm }60)/T{\rm cm}^3 /{\rm molecule} \cdot {\rm s}$$\end{document}The rate constant values obtained in this study are 20–30% larger than those recommended previously for modeling of stratospheric chemistry.
