Locating Activation Energy & rate constant
« on: March 25, 2008, 07:53:38 PM »
Hi. I'm trying to look for the "literature value" of the activation energy of methyl chloroformate and it's oddly not in the CRC Handbook. I've recently did an experiment on the hydrolysis of methyl chloroformate (basically putting it in water and slowly raise its temperature). I made an
Arrhenius plot from my experiment.

Anyways, any idea where I could find the reference value for the activation energy of methyl chloroformate (by hydrolysis) or the rate constant of hydrolysis of methyl chloroformate (by hydrolysis) at a given temperature? Basically I need something to compare my values to the "accepted" values and I don't know where to look besides CRC.

Actually nevermind about my request. I eventually found something in one of the thousands of chemistry journal articles at the library.
