Consider the conversion of 1,2 - dichloroethane to vinyl chloride, starting material for manufacturing poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) plastics: CH2ClCH2Cl(l) --> Ch2=CHCl(g) + HCl(g) Is this reaction spontaneous under standard state conditions? Would it help to carry out the reaction in the presence of base(OH-) to remove HCl? Is it possible to synthesize vinyl chloride from graphite, gaseous H2, and gaseous Cl- at 25 degrees celsius and 1 atm pressure?
