Pressure measurement
Comments:
Overall kinetics were determined by following pressure vs. time, although the stoichiometry of the reaction was also confirmed by quantitative GLC analysis of the starting substrate and identification of the ethene reaction product.
The authors suggest the reaction is a two-step process, first involving the molecular elimination to give the alkene + (C2H5)2NCO2H , followed by the rapid decomposition of the latter species to (C2H5)2NH and CO2.
Uncertainties are precision only and are at the 90% confidence level.
