For the gas phase decomposition of isobutyl bromide, (CH3),CHCH,Br(CH3),C=CH, + HBr 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 -2.54×104 K and a y-intercept of 30.1. The activation energy for the gas phase decomposition of isobutyl bromide is kJ/mol.
