A THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE THERMODYNAMIC AND KINETIC PROPERTIES FOR THE REACTION OF FORMYL CYANIDE DECOMPOSITION

We compute the thermodynamic and the kinetic properties for the reaction:HCOCN→HCH+CO using the statistical theory and the transition-state theory.The equi-librium constants and the rate coefficients of this reaction are also reported here,andthe half lives of formyl cyanide at different temperatures are first estimated in thiswork.
