The reaction H + CH 4 = CH 3 + H 2 has been studied in the temperature range 99° to 163 °C. The rate constant is given by the expression k = 1.7 × 10 −14 exp (−4500/RT). The data are in agreement with the results, but not the interpretations, of previous work. The entropy of the methyl radical has been calculated for several temperatures.
Berlie et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
