Kinetic study of dihydroxy-1,3-indanedione and aspartic acid in gemini (14-s-14) surfactants: a multi-technique approach
摘要
The present work deals with kinetic study of dihydroxy-1,3-indanedione (Nin) and aspartic acid (AA) in gemini (14-s-14) surfactants at 343 K applying the UV spectrophotometric approach. The values of the rate constant (kψ) were determined in geminis by varying different experimental reaction ingredients, i.e., [Nin], [AA], pH and temperatures. The study follows a fractional- and first-order kinetics of paths in [Nin] and [AA], respectively. The effect of several concentrations of gemini surfactants ranging from 1 to 3000 × 10–5 mol dm−3 was carried out and kψ achieved at varied concentrations, thus, were recorded. Quantitative analyses of results calculated at [surfactants] are shown as kψ vs. [14-s-14] plot and are treated using a kinetic model called pseudo-phase model of micellar catalysis. To evaluate the critical micellar concentration (cmc) of pure gemini and gemini + reactants, a conductometric approach was applied under the current kinetic reaction conditions. Binding parameters (KX for AA and KY for Nin), micellar-rate constant (km) and thermodynamic parameters (ΔH#, ΔS# and Ea) are also determined and discussed, appropriately.
