Notes:
The thermal decomposition of acetonitrile in the temperature range 1350-1950 K is modeled with a reaction scheme containing 23 species and 43 elementary reactions. Values of {[product]t/[CH3CN]0}/t, which were reported in a previous investigation are computed with this scheme at 50 K intervals and are compared with the values reported in the literature. Except for acrylonitrile and propyl nitrile at the high-temperature end of the study, very good agreement between the calculation and the experiment is obtained. A sensitivity spectrum of the kinetic scheme is shown and a discussion of the overall mechanism is presented. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 341-347, 1998
