The kinetic behavior of OH radicals in the presence of a large excess of NH3 has been studied by pulsed photolysis. The OH radicals were produced by vacuum-uv photolysis of H2O and were monitored by resonance fluorescence. The rate constant for the reaction of OH with NH3 was determined to be 1.5(± 0.4)× 10−13 cm3 molecule−1· sec−1 at 298°K. The significance of this result is discussed with regard to atmospheric chemistry.
