For the gas phase decomposition of t-butyl acetate, CH3COOC(CH3)3→(CH3),C=CH, + 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 -2.04x104 K and a y-intercept of 30.7. The activation energy for the gas phase decomposition of t-butyl acetate is kJ/mol.
