The competitive phtochlorination reactions were studied for $SiHCl_3/C_2H_6$ and $SiH_2Cl_2/C_2H_6$ systems to elucidate the kinetic parameters of hydrogen abstractions from silanes. The expression of rate constant ratio for the product formation was found to be

Where $ α=[C_2H_5Cl]/[RCl], β=[C_2H_6]_o/[RH]_o$ and $ γ=[RCl]/[RH]_o$. The general mechanism to deduce the equation was proposed

Kinetic data were obtained utilizing the observed $k_1/k_1``$ values at various temperature. Combining the Arrhenius parameters from the known value of the absolute rate constant of ethane we obtained

The anomalous behavior of silanes with respect to carbon counterparts were interpreted in terms of electronic effects and of the structural differences between these compounds.
