For the gas phase decomposition of
isobutyl bromide,
(CH3)2CHCH2Br----->(CH3)2C=CH2 + HBr
the rate constant has been determined at several temperatures. When
ln k in s-1 is plotted against the reciprocal of the
Kelvin temperature, the resulting linear plot has a slope of
-2.54×104 K and a y-intercept of
30.1.
The activation energy for the gas phase
decomposition of isobutyl bromide
is kJ/mol
