The thermal decomposition of hexachloroethane in the presence of chlorine has been studied over the temperature range 340‐400°C and a pressure range of 0.5°2.5 atm. The rate of the unimolecular CC bond spliting reaction can be described by the Arrhenius equation\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\log k_1 = 1707 - \frac{{68,300}}{{2.3RT}}$$\end{document}Comparison of these rate data with thermodynamic data suggests a combination rate for CCl 3 radicals which is consistent with earlier measurements.
