A thermal decomposition of trichloroethylene was studied in the temperature range of 440-$460^{circ}C$ by using the conventional static system. In order to investigate the pressure dependence of reaction and to eliminate free radical process, propylene was used as the bath gas. The pressure range investigated was 10∼900 Torr. The decomposition was the unimolecular dehydrochlorination and the reaction products were hydrogen chloride and dichloroacetylene. Results were interpreted in terms of the Ric-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) unimolecular rate theory and the Arrhenius parameters were determined from fall-off behaviors. The Arrhenius parameters are found to be log $A=13.8{pm}0.2sec^{-1}$ and E = $56.6{pm}0.7$ kcal/mole, respectively.
