Hydrogen iodide catalyses the decomposition of isopropanol into propene and water at 356 to 457�, viz. �������������������������� i-C3H7OH+HI → C3H6+H2O+HI This is followed by the faster reactions �������������������������� C3H6+HI → i-C3H7I ����� ��������������������i-C3H7I+HI → C3H8+I2������������������������ i-C3H7OH+I2 → (CH3)2CO+2HI The rates of the initial reaction fit the Arrhenius equation ����������������� k2 = 1012.24 exp(-31900/RT) sec-1 ml mole-1 and it is believed to be homogeneous and molecular. It is faster than the corresponding reactions with hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide in the ratios 100 : 1 and 5 : 1, respectively. For the overall reaction the amounts of the products formed to 70% reaction, computed with the use of rate constants of the individual reactions, agree well with the amounts found by analysis.
