Abstract

The gas phase decomposition of vinyl fluoride has been studied in a single-pulse shock tube between about 1170 and 1350°K at total reflected shock pressures from 2800 to 3600 Torr. It is shown that vinyl fluoride decomposes by molecular elimination of hydrogen fluoride, CH2 = CFH →k C2H2 + HF. The first-order rate constant is given by k = 1014.0±0.7 exp[-(70,800 ± 3600)/RT] sec-1.
