For the gas phase decomposition of t-butyl acetate, CH3COOC(CH3)3 →(CH3)½C=CH2 + CH3COOH the rate constant has been determined at several temperatures. When In k in s*' is plotted against the reciprocal of the Kelvin temperature, the resulting linear plot has a slope of -2.04×10* K and a y-intercept of 30.7. The activation energy for the gas phase decomposition of t-butyl acetate is kJ/mol.
