The reaction of hydrogen atoms, produced by electric discharge, with vinyl chloride vapor has been studied at four widely different temperatures. Since the maximum yields of HCl at both 328 and 494 °C exceeded the flow rates of atomic hydrogen, the reaction was observed to have limited chain characteristics. The products were hydrogen chloride, ethylene, methane, and ethane. The specific reaction rate for HCl production was found to be about [Formula: see text] and that for production of ethylene plus ethane was found to be about [Formula: see text].
