The rates of disappearance of gaseous hydrogen chloride (-d/dt) and 1,3-butadiene and appearance of the gaseous products 3-chloro-1-butene and (E)- and (Z)-1-chloro-2-butene (+d/dt) in Pyrex IR cells at 295 K and total initial pressures of about 450 torr are found to be proportional to the surface-to-volume ratio (S/V) of the reaction vessel.
