Oxidation of SO2 in the ozone-ethylene reaction system was investigated in both the absence and the presence of water vapor by use of HCOOH as an indicator of reaction pathway. In the absence of SO2, the yield of HCOOH increased with the increase of water vapor. On the contrary, it decreased with water vapor in the presence of SO2, although absolute yield was much higher than that in the absence of SO2. These phenomena are in accord with the mechanism we reported previously; the reaction proceeds via formation of the CH2OO+SO2 adduct. The ratio of the rate constants, k(Adduct+H2O)/k(Adduct+SO2) w as estimated to be 6.0x10-3.
