RESUMO
Decomposition of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (Ethephon) was studied in dried films at various water vapor pressures (0.6 to 86.9 millimeters Hg, 3.2 to 93.9% relative humidity) and temperatures (20, 30, 40, and 50 C) at pH 6.3 and 7.0. The rate of decomposition could be determined equally well by [14C]Ethephon or ethylene measurements. The rate increases at increasing water vapor pressures at a constant temperature and pH, up to an optimum. The optimum vapor pressure for decomposition approximately doubles for each 10 C increase. The activation energy for the decomposition reaction in water vapor pressures of 3.2 to 12 millimeters Hg is 8.7 and 14.3 kilocalories per mole at pH 6.3 and 7.0, respectively.
