Abstract: A potentiometric method for the detn. of cleaved gaseous HCl at the thermal destruction of poly(vinyl chloride) (I) is described. The exactness of the method was checked by kinetic measurements of cleaved HCl from I at various temps. in air, O, and Ar. On the basis of kinetic measurements and calcd. value of the activation energy, it was detd. that the mechanism of HCl cleavage from I is of radical 'zipper' (Reissverschlus) character.
