Kinetics of Bimolecular Reaction on Activation Parameters for the Solvolysis of Diethyl Phthalate in Aqueous Alkaline Medium of Ethanol
Author(s): Anil Kumar Singh*
The kinetics parameters like rate constant, iso-composition activation energy, dielectric activation energy, enthalpy
of activation, entropy of activation and Gibb’s free energy of activation for the alkali catalyzed hydrolysis of diethyl
phthalate ester have been determined at different range of composition for mixture of water and organic solvent
at different range of temperature. The effect of solvent on rate of reaction has been studied on term of salvation
and desolvation concepts. The number of water molecule associated with activated complex has been found to be
decreases with increase of temperature from 200°C to 400°C, this indicate the mechanistic path followed by the
reaction change from unimolecular to bimolecular. The variation of ΔG*, ΔH*, ΔS* with solvent composition and
the specific effect of water on the reaction ra.. View more»
