MCC Measurement of NLD: 9 The MCC operated in positive ion mode using charged water clusters to measure [B] (see Hanson et al. [2011] for comparison). Figure S1 shows the measured [B] as a function of measured [A1] (in 11 negative ion mode of the MCC) for MA and TMA. Overall, the NLD is within 20% of the measured [B] 12 except for [MA]=7 pptv where NLD is a factor of 2 lower than measured. This could be due to MA 13 sticking to the walls of the base injection system and raising the amount of [MA] added to the flow 14 reactor. This would only affect the concentrations for the lowest [B]. Also from the graph, it can be seen 15 that [B] remains constant for increasing [A1].

Ion Induced Clustering (IIC) of the MCC: 21 The MCC dimer signal (195 m/z) is composed of both pre-existing neutral dimers that are 22 charged with nitric ion and charged monomers that go on to charge neutral A1 to form dimers. The latter 23 process is IIC, and its contribution to dimer signal is a source of uncertainty. Chen et al. [2012] (SI) lists a 24 series of possible IIC reactions, with the pertinent reactions given below. k1 A1 HNO3 NO3 A1 k21 A1 A1 A2 k2 25 A2 HNO3 NO3 A2 k31 A2 A1 A3 k32 A1 A2 A3 k3 A3 HNO3 NO3 A3 26 where 27 A1 = neutral monomer 28 A1- = charged monomer 29 A2 = neutral dimer 30 A2- = charged dimer 31 ki = nitrate ionization rate constant 32 kij = IIC rate constant 33 Chen et al. [2012] provides two sets of rate constants: one set contains the collision rate constants 34 [Hanson et al., 2011; Su and Bowers, 1973] and the second are rate constants fitted from ambient data 35 [Zhao et al., 2010]. To determine which set of IIC rate constants to use for this study, the chemical 36 ionization (CI) reaction time of the MCC was varied by manipulating the electric field in the sampling S2 37 region (see Figure 1) with constant [A1]. Changing the CI reaction time does not change the amount of 38 pre-existing neutral dimer but does affect the amount produced by IIC. 39 Consider first the ionization of A1. Integrating the ionization rate equation and assuming the 40 nitrate source ion (125 m/z) remains constant at short CI time scales, the ratio between signal 160 m/z and 41 125 m/z (S160/S125) can be used to calculate [A1]: S160 k1 A1 t S125 Equation S1 42 where k1 has been experimentally measured [Viggiano et al., 1997] and is the collision rate constant. 43 Equation S1 matches that given in Berresheim et al. [2000] with the implicit assumption that the MCC is 44 able to transport and detect ions at 160 m/z and 125 m/z equally efficiently. However as is shown in Zhao 45 et al. [2010], lighter ions are transported and detected less efficiently than heavier ions. The difference in 46 efficiencies between these masses can be taken into account by dividing by the ratio of sensitivities for 47 the different masses (see equation S11 in Chen et al. [2012] as an example). For the MCC between the 48 masses of 125-195, the ratio of sensitivities is ~1.1-1.3, depending on the specific masses in the ratio; 49 therefore, we have left out this sensitivity ratio to simplify the equation but have taken it into account in 50 the MCC signal to concentration conversion. Figure S2 (left) shows S160/S125 vs. time at varying [MA]. 51 The linear fits of S160/S125 vs. time gives a slope of k1[A1] with non-zero y-intercepts for all [MA]. Two 52 possible sources of uncertainty could cause this non-zero y-intercept. Other uncharacterized, ionizing 53 species (x-ray or electrons) may escape from the source holder and ionize clusters in the flow reactor. 54 Furthermore, the Po-210 lies inside an uncovered cavity within the source holder. Since the source holder 55 sits in the flow reactor (see Figure 1), small amounts of sulfuric acid flow can enter into the cavity and 56 mix with the nitrate ions. This would lead to longer than predicted CI reaction for some fraction of the 57 sulfuric acid clusters. S3 Now consider both the nitrate ionization of A2 and the IIC formation of A2-. Integrating these 58 59 reaction equations at short time scales shows that the ratio of S195/S160 is composed of neutral A2 and A2- 60 formed by IIC. S195 k2 A2 1 k21 A1 t S160 k1 A1 2 Equation S2 61 A comparison between the slopes from Equation S1and Equation S2 provides evidence if k21 is the 62 collision rate constant or not. A factor of 2 between the two slopes implies that k21=k1=collision rate 63 constant. From comparing the two graphs in Figure S2 at [MA]=0 and 10 pptv, k21=collision rate 64 constant; however at [MA]=150 pptv, the ratio of the slopes is 2.5 (see Table S1). Although we suspect 65 high uncertainty with these ratios, the trend still indicates that base effects IIC. Based upon conclusions 66 from the main paper, we hypothesize that the concentration and identity of B will affect IIC. For the 67 purpose of this paper, we assumed IIC proceeded at the faster collision rate. Thus, [A2] shown in Figure 2 68 is the lower limit. The actual [A2] will be higher (up to a factor of 4) than reported here but the fitted 69 evaporation rates will still fall in the range reported in Table 1 and 2. The y-intercepts from the linear fits of Figure S2 (right) show that for [A1]=4x109 cm-3 and 70 71 [MA]=0 pptv, the pre-existing [A2]=6x107 cm-3. The baseline measurements detailed in the main paper 72 produced a fitted relationship for non-IIC corrected [A2] vs. [A1] of A2 1.32 1010 A1 Equation S3 1.91 73 Therefore, at [A1]=4x109 cm-3, about 20% of the total 195 m/z signal is neutral dimer not produced via 74 IIC. 75 Table S1 Comparison between slopes of S160/S125 and S195/S160 vs. time [MA] (pptv) 0 10 150 Slope S160/S125 7.0 4.5 1.6 Slope S195/S160 3.4 2.2 0.64 Ratio of slopes S160/S125 to S195/S160 2.0 2.0 2.5 S4 [MA]=0 pptv S160/S125 150 0.8 y=4.5x+0.05 2 R =0.97 0.4 0.0 0.00 76 0.6 y=7.0x+0.1 2 R =0.99 10 y=1.6x+0.01 2 R =0.99 0.05 0.10 0.15 CI Reaction Time, t (s) S195/S160 1.2 y=3.4x+0.03 2 R =0.98 0.4 y=2.2x+0.04 2 R =0.96 0.2 0.0 0.00 y=0.64x+0.009 2 R =0.96 0.05 0.10 0.15 CI Reaction Time, t (s) 77 78 79 Figure S2 Left: Ratio of signals of 160 m/z and 125 m/z as a function of CI reaction time.

Repeatability of Flow Reactor Experiments and Uncertainty in Measurement: 81 Several experiments were done at constant [B] on different times and days to study daily 82 repeatability of measurements carried out in the flow reactor system. Figure S3 shows measurements of 83 [A1] and [A2] made [MA]=80 pptv on three different days. Between these three days, 12 experiments of 84 MA were conducted at [MA] from 10-260 pptv. The good daily repeatability (~10%) suggests that the 85 flow reactor is able to quickly adapt to new [B] without significant “memory" of contamination from 86 experiments carried out in the intervening period. Figure S3 also suggests that the base dilution/injection 87 system developed in Zollner et al. [2012] and MCC have minimal daily variation. In addition to day-to- 88 day variability, the total uncertainty also includes the systematic error of the MCC. The box on the bottom 89 right of Figure S3 illustrates the systematic error of the MCC measurement. The systematic error in [A2] 90 could lower the predicted E2mv and E1 values, but they will fall in the range given in Tables 1 and 2. [A2] 91 error of 70% was determined from varying chemical ionization times and comparing the measured [A2]. 92 [A1] error of 50% was calculated from error propagation [Chen et al., 2012].

The box on the bottom right shows the systematic error of the MCC. 97 4. Collision-Controlled Limit at Steady State: 98 99 The collision-controlled limit (CCL) is where every collision of A1 with another A1 or cluster forms a larger cluster that does not evaporate (no backward reaction). However, clusters are still lost via 100 collisions with other particles (including monomer, clusters, or larger particles) and the wall of the 101 Augsburg flow reactor. The CCL is important because it corresponds to the highest concentration of 102 clusters that could be formed for a given [A1] [McMurry, 1983]. Observed cluster concentrations must be 103 equal or less than the cluster-controlled limit. If less, then the difference must be related to the extent to 104 which cluster concentrations are depleted by sulfuric acid evaporation. Figure S4 plots the measured [A2] 105 vs. [A1] with the solid black line showing the CCL calculated from measured [A1]. For all the bases 106 except TMA, the measured [A2] falls on or below the CCL curve. This implies that either the monomer or 107 dimer must be evaporating to depress the [A2] from the CCL concentration. Measured [A2] for TMA 108 appears to exceed the CCL, possibly due to fault in the steady state assumption where long lifetime 109 clusters would artificially raise the measured [A2]. If this were true, then DMA would also suffer from 110 inflated measured [A2]. This does not change the conclusion that the series of conditions examined here 111 predominately take place below CCL. S6 112 Figure S4 also shows that the measured [A2] approaches CCL curve for the highest [A1] and [B]. 113 In this region, the production of A2 (A2mv and A2LV from scheme 1 and A2 from 2) will dominate the 114 cluster balance equations due to high concentrations of reactants (e.g. [A1] and [B]). The rate of cluster 115 evaporation is overwhelmed by the production rates because the evaporation rates depend on cluster 116 composition and temperature but not on [A1] and [B]. 9 10 -3 [A2] (cm ) MA= 10 pptv (2e8 cm-3) 20 (5e8) 70 (2e9) 80 (2e9) 180 (4e9) 220 (5e9) 260 (6e9) NH3= 100 pptv (2e9 cm-3) 8 10 300 (7e9) 1100 (3e10) 1800 (4e10) 2300 (6e10) 3500 (8e10) 6000 (1e11) 7 10 6 10 5 10 (b) MA (a) NH 4 3 10 -3 DMA= 2 pptv (5e7 cm ) 3 (8e7) 6 (1e8) 20 (5e8) 60 (1e9) 100 (3e9) 200 (5e9) 8 10 -3 [A2] (cm ) -3 7 10 TMA= 4 pptv (1e8 cm ) 12 (3e8) 30 (7e8) 54 (1e9) 95 (2e9) 140 (3e9) 300 (7e9) 6 10 5 10 7 8 10 9 10 10 -3 117 (d) TMA (c) DMA 4 10 6 10 [A ]=[H SO ] (cm ) 1 2 4 6 10 7 8 10 9 10 10 10 10 -3 [A ]=[H SO ] (cm ) 1 2 4 118 119 120 121 Figure S4 Measured [A2] vs. [A1] with the calculated collision controlled limit drawn as a black line.

For 139 the transient solution, differential equations were solved numerically using Matlab’s ode45 with an input S8 140 of an initial [A1] and [B].

[A2] / [A1] vs. [B] for Constant [A1]: 170 The dependence of [A2] on [B] is better illustrated by taking a vertical slice of Figure 2. This 171 creates the graphs in Figure S5 through Figure S8 where the measured [A2] / [A1] ratio is a function of 172 [B]. The lines on Figure S5 represent the steady state model of scheme 1 for the given fitted evaporation 173 rates. This model and solution method does well in capturing the trend of increasing then plateauing trend 174 of [A2] / [A1] with increasing [B]. The leveling off is the saturation point. The model also captures 175 decently well the dependence of the ratio on [A1]. The model does not capture the peaking behavior of 176 TMA curves. The steady state solution for scheme 2 is shown in Figure S6 and more accurately describes 177 the observations seen in the DMA graph. However, this model underpredicts the ratio at low [A1]. 178 Using the transient solution for scheme 1, given in Figure S7, to predict the ratios produces worse 179 agreement with NH3 and MA but better for DMA and TMA. This is consistent with our hypothesis that 180 long-life time clusters are unsuited to be modeled via steady state. The transient solution for scheme 2 is 181 given in Figure S8. This model most accurately reproduces the shape of DMA out of the four solution S11 182 methods/schemes. Overall, both schemes capture the correct trends of the ratio vs. [B] and the spread of 183 the curves. 184 185 186 187 Figure S5 The ratio [A2] /[A1] vs. [B] better illustrates the dimer dependence on [B].

Time Dependent Behavior of Particle Coagulation Loss: 198 For this study, particle coagulation loss rate is calculated from the particle size distributions 199 measured by the DEG SMPS [Iida et al., 2009; Jiang et al., 2011] for particles >1.3 nm (geometric 200 diameter). The instrument sampled from a 1/8 inch stainless steel tube inserted into the center of the flow 201 reactor. The sampling point was ~2 cm above the MCC sampling region. The size distribution and thus S13 202 loss rate to larger particles, κ, are functions of [A1], [B], and time. Figure S9 depicts κ as a function of 203 [A1] for varying [DMA]. From this figure, κ was described as a power law extrapolation as a function of 204 measured [A1]. For conditions investigated in this study, κ is smaller than the wall loss rate of η=0.05 s-1 205 for almost all [A1]. At high [A1], however, κ is large and plays a much larger role in the cluster balance 206 equations. This helps to explain the downturn of [A2] at high [A1]. κ plays a much more complicated role in the transient solution method due to the evolving 208 particle distribution with respect to time. The total number of particles at the point of injection is less than 209 at the 3 sec sampling point. This is due to base reacting with the clusters and forming stable clusters. 210 Therefore, κ will increase as time progresses. The maximum κ for the transient model can be 211 approximated from the 3 sec particle distribution and held constant from t=0 to 3 sec. This high κ changes 212 the model lines to those shown in Figure S10 and Figure S11 (cf. Figure 6 where total loss rate equals η). 213 The increase of loss prevents the calculated [A1] and [A2] from reaching the full range seen in the 214 measured data. However, increasing the loss rate does not alter the fitted evaporation rates. -1 Sink Loss, (s ) 207 10 -1 10 -2 10 -3 10 -4 10 215 216 217 [DMA]= 9 pptv [DMA]= 28 [DMA]= 55 8 10 9 -3 [A1] = [H2SO4] (cm ) Figure S9 Particle sink loss rate vs. MCC measured [A1].
