How to calculate the OH production in mol/yr from its constant rate

Hello everyone!
I'm very stuck with this topic... but I can't find how to calculate the production of for example OH in (mol/yer) from some of its rate constants.
In other words, I have the value of r_O1D_H2O, which is given in molec/cm3/s. How can I do to obtain the production of OH from this reaction rate?

I really appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The value you have for example for r_O1D_H2O shows the removal rate of either O1D or H2O or the production rate of each product species within each grid cell. Since this reaction forms 2 moles of OH, you have to multiply that value by 2. Then, you have to do the integration (for all the grid cells) and unit conversion (using Avogadro's number) to get to your desired units.

Hope it answers your question.
