N2  - 1-Ethoxyethyl chloride decomposes cleanly at 164-221° into vinyl ethyl ether and hydrogen chloride in a first-order manner with           k1 = 1010.52exp(-30300/RT) sec-1       (1)  The equilibrium of the system at 128-221° approached from either direction at various pressures is well represented by (Kp in atmospheres)         1.987 In Kp = 31.1 ± 0.9-(16500±500)/T      (2)  and this leads to &#916;H°f,298(g) = -71.9 kcal mole-1 for 1-ethoxyethyl chloride. Combination of (1) and (2) gives          k2 = 108.7exp(-14700/RT) sec-1 ml mole-1         for the reverse reaction and rate measurements verify this. The reactions are molecular, and relative rates indicate a polar transition state.
