Abstract
The reaction of iodine with ethyl alcohol has been studied in a static system in the temperature range 203-252° and in the pressure range 30-750 Torr. The rate-determining step of this reaction has been found to be I + CH3CH2OH →1 CH3ĊHOH + HI and k1 is given by the equation log (k1/M-1 sec-1) = (11.5 ± 0.3) - (22.7 ± 0.6)/θ, θ = 2.303RT kcal mol-1. From the activation energy and the assumption E-1 = 1 ± 1 kcal mol-1, it has been calculated that D[CH3CH(OH)-H] = 93.0 ± 1.0 and ΔHf°(CH3ĊHOH,g) = -15.2 ± 1.0 kcal mol-1. The data of the reaction I2 + CH3OH are reinterpreted, increasing log A by 0.3.
