For the gas phase decomposition of vinyl ethyl ether, CH2=CH-OC2H5C2H4 + CH3CHO 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 -2.20×104 K and a y-intercept of 26.3. The activation energy for the gas phase decomposition of vinyl ethyl ether is kJ/mol.
