Kinetic studies on the pryolysis of pentenel
The thermal decomposition of pentene-1 in a static system has been investigated over a temperature range of 470 to 530°C. and a pressure range of 50 to 250 mm. The decomposition was a homogeneous first-order reaction with an average overall activation energy of 52 kcal./mole. The reaction rate was r...
