N2  - At 242.4-350 3&#176; the equilibrium CH3COCl &#98596; CH2CO + HCI is established with (Kp in atm) 8.314 ln Kp = -100300/T+ 132.9 Rate constants for the reactions are given by the Arrhenius equations: k1 (s-1) = 1012.42 exp(-168900/8.314T) (measured) k2 (s-1 ml mol-1) = 1010.27 exp(- 69900/8.314T) (calculated) The van't Hoff equation leads to &#916;H&#176;f,298,g = -61.0 kJ mol-1 for ketene. At 299-491&#176; the decarbonylation CH3COCl &#8594; CH3Cl + CO also takes place and it is compared with other similar reactions.
