The particles were generated by homogeneous nucleation of SO3/H2O mixtures. In the H2SO4 concentration range 26.3−64.5 wt % the uptake coefficient was γ = 0.033 ± 0.004, independent of acid strength. For an acid strength of 45 wt % γ was found to decrease with increasing temperature over the range 263−298 K. From this, temperature dependence values of −115 ± 30 kJ/mol and −25.5 ± 8.4 J/K mol were determined for the changes in enthalpy and entropy of the uptake process, respectively. The results are consistent with a previous model of N2O5 hydrolysis involving both a direct and an acid catalyzed mechanism, with uptake under the experimental conditions limited by mass accommodation.
