Competitive bromination kinetics of CH3Br and CH2ClBr
The relative-rate method with gas-chromatographic product analysis was applied to study the kinetics of the reactions Br + CH3Br --> CH2Br + HBr (1) and Br + CH2ClBr --> CHCIBr + HBr (2) The rate coefficient ratio of k(1)/k(2) = (1.6 +/- 0.2) exp[(-15.2 +/- 0.3) kJ mol(-1)/RT] was determined in the temperature range of 353 - 410 K.
