30. Gas-phase octanal was introduced with an air stream to the main body of the glass flow reactor (2.2-m length x 2.5-cm inner diameter). The aerosol population sampled at ports spaced sequentially down the flow reactor was observed in the presence of an acid catalyst with a scanning mobility particle sizer. The %RH was varied by controlling the water-saturator. The experimental temperature was 295 to 296 K.

32. 4 for acid seed. Also note that the organic loss by the reaction on the wall surface will be higher as the molecular weight of aliphatic aldehydes increases.
33. 3 concentration was 0.57 ppm. The experimental temperature was 295 to 296 K and %RH was 45 to 50%.
