Abstract
H ATOMS may be generated for the study of reactions of atomic hydrogen with solutes in water by a microwave discharge of molecular hydrogen. The externally generated H atoms are then bubbled through the solution1,2. In such a system there is competition between the diffusion of H atoms into the solution, the second order recombination of H atoms, and their first order reaction with the solute3, which makes it difficult to deduce reaction mechanisms and rate constants.
