%X The decomposition of t-butyl methyl ether catalysed by hydrogen chloride takes place at 337-428º. It is first order in each reactant and the rate is not affected by increase in surface area or inhibitor. The rate equation is:     K2 = 1012.46exp(-32100/RT) (sec-l ml mole-l)  The reaction is believed to be molecular and its properties are in accord with those of other such catalysed decompositions.
