## Abstract Rate constants and activation parameters are reported for the decarboxylation of malonic acid in seven normal alkanols (butanolβl to decanolβl inclusive). It is found that the enthalpy of activation of the reaction is a linear function of the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon ch
