Abstract
The rates of decomposition of t-butyl ethyl ether have been measured in the range 433-484�. The reaction products are ethanol and isobutene, and the kinetic form is first order. The Arrhenius equation k1 = 1017.18exp(-59740/RT)sec-1 is followed. The reaction behaviour is consistent with a unimolecular mechanism for the decomposition.Keywords
