As described in Problem P17D.5, reaction with the hydroxyl radical OH is the main path by which CH4 is removed from the lower atmosphere. T. Gierczak et al. (J. Phys. Chem. A 101, 3125 (1997)) measured the rate constants for the bimolecular gas-phase reaction CH4 + OH → CH3 + H2O and found A = 1.13 × 109 dm3 mol−1 s−1 and Ea = 14.1 kJ mol−1 for the Arrhenius parameters. (a) Estimate the rate of consumption of CH4 under the following conditions: take the average OH concentration to be 3.5 × 10−15 mol dm−3, that of CH4 to be 40 nmol dm−3, and the temperature to be −10 °C.
