Abstract
Dimethyl ether was pyrolyzed in a flow System at 788, 856, and 935 K and 38–401 Torr. Measurement of the yields of CH4 and C2H6 and of either H2 or CO enabled calculation of high pressure limiting values of the rate constant quotient k9k6−1/2, where reaction 9 is[Formula: see text]and reaction 6 is the recombination of two methyl radicals. Including literature data from 357–1005 K, the Arrhenius plot for this quotient is a curve.Keywords
