ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS

1!963, Volume 67 Bernard J. Wood, James S. Mills, and Henry Wise: Energy Accommodation in Exothermic Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions. Pages 1463-1465. Two errors, perpetrated in the derivations of the expressions relating the number densities of oxygen molecules and hydrogen atoms to their respective e.p.r. line intensities, affect the numerical values of the reaction energy accommodation coefficient, p . These errors were revealed to us by the analysis of Westenberg and de Haas in a recent paper [ J . Chem. Phys., 40, 3087 (1964)l. We are grateful to these authors for their courtesy in providing us with a preprint of their contribution. The term g,ff in the denominator of eq. 1 is incorrect as it stands and should be replaced by gZ/geff where g, the Lande factor, is 2.0023. Then, in eq. 3, geff/g becomes g/geff. Because of an erroneouts evaluation of the appropriate matrix element for atomic hydrogen, the right-hand side of eq. 2 is too large by a factor of 2. Hence, a 2 should appear in the denominator in eq. 3. The value of geff = (h/B)(dv/dH) is 1.40 for the particular 0, transition observed in this study. In the paper, the quotient h/B was inadvertently omitted from the definition of geff, whicb led to the use of an incorrect value of 1.96 for geff. Inserting the correct value for g,ff into the correct form of eq. 3 changes the values of the numerical coefficients in eq. 4 and 5 to 1.96 X 10--2 and 6.33 X 1014, respectively. Since N H appears in the denominator of eq. 13, the values of p reported in the paper should be increased by a factor of 2.68/1.96 = 1.37. The corrected values are tabulated below.
