The thermal decomposition of ethane has been reinvestigated using the single pulse, reflected shock technique. Reflected shock temperatures were corrected for boundary layer-induced nonidealities using the thermal decomposition of cyclohexene as a kinetic standard. The rate constant for the reaction was calculated from the rate of formation of methane under conditions of very low extent of reaction, over a temperature range of 1000-1241 K. Ethane compositions of 1% and 3% in argon at total reaction pressures of 3 and 9 atm were used, and a small pressure dependence of k1 was observed.An RRKM model is described which gives excellent agreement with this and other recent dissociation and recombination rate constant data in light of a recent revision to the thermochemistry of the methyl radical. In the range of 1000-1300 K an RRKM extrapolated k1∞ is given by the expression, log k1∞ = 17.2 - 91,000/2.3RT, while at 298 K the calculation gives log k-1∞ (l/mol sec) = 10.44, where k-1∞ is calculated from k1∞ and the equilibrium constant.
