Measurements of the rate of formation of methane in the thermal decomposition of ethane in dilute mixtures with argon were made by the shock tube technique. Derived values of the rate constant of the dissociation reaction are compared with earlier data of the same type and with recent shock tube data on the combination of methyl radicals. An RRKM calculation correlating all the data is described, from which an Arrhenius equation for the range 1000–1500°K, log k∞ = 16.9 − 89,500/2.3RT, is obtained.
