The kinetics of the decomposition of aqueous solutions of sulphuric and perchloric acids containing sodium nitrite have been investigated at a number of temperatures. The technique involved flushing the decomposing solutions with dry nitrogen to remove the gaseous products. A first-order dependence of decomposition rate on "analytical nitrite" was found, the rate constants being dependent on the solvent acid composition.

Three of the five possible geometric isomers of the bis[(S)-alaninato] dinitrocobaltate (III) ion isomerize to the stable fourth isomer by a series of first-order reactions. The fifth isomer is not observed. The kinetics of the isomerizations in neutral, aqueous solutions between 65 and 95 C have been studied by chromatographic separation of the isomers. The data were fitted by eigenanalysis of the coupled first-order differential equations. The results are consistent with a reaction scheme requiring five rate constants, kxy, where xy represents isomerization from isomer x to isomer y. lsomer A is the Λ-(-)589-cis-NO2/cis-N/cis-O complex; isomer B the trans-NO2/cis-N/cis-O complex; isomer C the trans-NO2/trans-N/trans-O complex; and isomer D is the mixture of both diastereomers of the cis-NO2/trans-N/cis-O complex that is formed from B and C. The rate constants required are kAB, kbc , kBD , kCB and kCD . The same reaction scheme had been found previously for the analogous glycinato complexes, but the activation energies differ. For the valine and leucine analogues, the rate constants and activation enthalpies for the first isomerization reaction, represented by kAB, are similar to that of the alanine complex.

A two step operation is proposed for the biodegradation of low concentrations (< 10 mg/L) of BETX substances in an up flow submerged biotower configuration. Step 1 involves growth of a lush biofilm using benzoic acid in a batch mode. Step 2 involves a longer term biological transformation of BETX. Kinetics of biotransformations are modeled using first order assumptions, with rate constants being a function of benzoic acid dosages used in Step 1. A calibrated computer model is developed and presented to predict the degree of transformation and biomass level throughout the tower under a variety of inlet and design operational conditions.

Results are presented on the rate of thiamin cleavage by sulphite in aqueous solutions as affected by temperature (20–70°), pH(2·5–7·0), and variation of the concentration of either thiamin (1–20μm) or sulphite (10–5000μm as sulphur dioxide). Plots of the logarithm of percentage of residual thiamin against time were found to be linear and cleavage thus was first-order with respect to thiamin. At pH5 the rate was also found to be proportional to the sulphite concentration. In the pH region 2·5–7·0 at 25° the rate constant was 50m−1hr.−1 at pH5·5–6·0, and decreased at higher or lower pH values. The rate of reaction increased between 20° and 70°, indicating a heat of activation of 13·6kcal./mole.

<p>The reaction of bis-(diaminoethane)nickel(II) chloride, ([Ni(en)2]Cl2 in methanol with formaldehyde and nitroethane in the presence of triethylamine proceeds readily to produce (6, 13-dimethyl-6, 13-dinitro-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)nickel(II) chloride, [Ni(dini)] - Cl2. Reduction of the nitro groups of this compound by catalytic hydrogenation yields three isomers of the pendant arm macrocyclic complex (6, 13-diamino-6, 13-dimethyl-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazachyclotetradecane)nickel(II) chloride, designated a-, b- and c-[Ni(diam)]Cl2. These were separated by fractional crystallization. The aisomer was observed to isomerizes slowly in solution to the b- form. A parallel dissociation reaction of the a- isomer was also observed. The demetallation of a- and b- isomers of the diam complex of nickel by reaction with cyanide or concentrated acid at 140 degrees C produces the macrocycle meso-(6, 13-diamino-6, 13-dimethyl-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetra-decane), diam. A variety of hexamine, pentamine and tetramine complexes of diam with nickel(II), copper(II), cobalt(II) and (III), chromium(III), palladium(II), rhodium(III), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) were prepared. Hexamine and tetramine forms of labile metal complexes could be rapidly and reversibly interconverted by altering the pH. The hexamine cobalt(III) cation, [Co(diam)]3+ was by far the most inert of the prepared cobalt(III) complexes, remaining unaffected in hot acidic solutions. In contrast, a single pendant arm of the hexamine [Cr(diam)]3+ cation could be dissociated in acid. (Two possibly triamine complexes of lead were also prepared). These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, electronic, infrared, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The pendant arm protonation constants (log K) of diam and selected complexes of nickel, copper and palladium were calculated from potentiometric titration measurements at 25 degrees C. The log K values for diam at 25 degrees C (I = 0.1 M NaclO4) were 11.15, 9.7, 6.2 and 5.3. Kinetics of the parallel isomerization and dissociation of a-[Ni(dimH2)]4+ in HCl/NaCl solutions were monitored spectrophotometrically at 50 degrees C. The rate of reaction in acidic solutions showed a non-linear dependency on acid concentration. The observed first order rate constant (kobs) for disappearance of a-[Ni(diamH2)]4+ (by isomerization and dissociation) in 2.0 M HCl, 0.1 M NaOH and 2.0 M NaCl were 3.05 x 10-4, 2.0(3) x 10-2 and 5.0 x 10-5 s-1 respectively. The rate of the dissociation component of the reaction of a-[Ni(diamH2)]4+ in 2.0 M HCl at 50 degrees C was 1.82 x 10-7 s-1. Acid bydrolysis kinetics of (Cu[diamH2])(ClO4)4 in hydrochloric acid and perchloric acid at 50 and 70 degrees C were studied spectrophotometrically. The reactions were slow and the observed first order rate constants were to a first approximation independent of the particular acid or its concentration. The observed first order rate constants were 1 x 10-9 and 8 x 10-9 s-1 at 50 and 70 degrees C respectively. Questions about the nature of the reaction being followed have been raised.</p>

The ultraviolet spectroscopy method has been applied to study the kinetics of the ozone reactions with nitrogenous bases (NB), namely adenine and cytosine in aqueous solutions. At the first research stage, the range of NB working concentrations has been determined. It was found that linear dependences between optical densities and concentrations of nitrogenous bases aqueous solutions are quite reliable, with correlation coefficients r ≥ 0.998, are satisfied up to [NB] = 2.3 ∙ 10–4 mol/l. According to the Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law, adenine and cytosine extinction coefficients in aqueous solutions were determined and subsequently used to calculate their residual concentrations. At the next stage, the kinetics of nitrogenous bases ozonized oxidation was studied with equal initial concentrations of the starting substances ([NB]0 = [О3]0). The results revealed that the kinetic consumption curves of the starting reagents are fairly well linearized (r ≥ 0.996) in the second-order reaction equation coordinates. As found with the bubbling installation, 1 mol of the absorbed ozone falls on 1 mol of the used NB. Thus, the reactions of ozone with adenine and cytosine explicitly proceed according to the second-order kinetic laws (the first – according to О3 and the first – according to NB). The rate constants were calculated by the integral reaction equations, the values of which indicate a higher ozone reactivity in relation to nitrogen bases. The temperature dependences of the second-order rate constants was studied ranging 285-309 K, and the activation parameters (pre-exponential factors and activation energies) of the ozone reactions with adenine and cytosine in aqueous solutions were determined.

First order rate constants of the reaction of a series of SH-, imidazole- and imidazole/SH-compounds with FDNB as well as their pH- and temperature dependence were determined. Some of the tested imidazole/SH-compounds exhibit a higher nucleophilic reactivity as is expected on the basis of their pKSH-values. This enhanced reactivity is caused by an activation of the SH-groups by a neighbouring imidazole residue. The pH-independent rate constants were calculated using the Lindley equation.The kinetics of DNP-transfer from DNP-imidazole to SH-compounds were investigated. The pH-dependence of the reaction displays a maximum curve. Donor in this reaction is the DNP-imidazolecation and acceptor the thiolate anion.The reaction rate of FDNB with imidazole derivatives is two to three orders of magnitude slower than with SH-compounds.No inter- or intra-molecular transfer of the DNP-residue from sulfure to imidazole takes place.

The kinetics of TBBPA degradation by ozonation in semi-batch reactor was studied. The reaction rate constants of TBBPA with O3 and •OH were measured by means of direct ozone attack and competition kinetics, and the values of which were 6.10 l/(mol•s), 4.8×109 l/(mol•s), respectively. Results of kinetic studies showed that TBBPA degradation by ozonation under the different conditions tested followed the pseudo-first-order. The values of apparent rate constant of TBBPA degradation increased with the increase of ozone dosage and pH, but decreased with the increase of initial TBBPA concentration.

The principal reaction of methyl-bis-β-chloroethylamine in methanol is dimerization, which results in one chlorine from each molecule becoming ionic, but this is accompanied by slight alcoholysis. The rate-controlling step is believed to be the first order formation of an ethylenimonium ion which reacts rapidly with one of its kind to form dimer. The rate expression as calculated from initial rate constants is k (initial) = 4.0 × 1013e−19600/RThr.−1.

The kinetics of iron(III) hydrolysis and precipitation in aqueous glycine solutions were studied by cathodic voltammetry with a mercury drop electrode. The kinetics was controlled by changing ionic strength (I), pH and glycine concentration. Voltammetric measurements clearly showed formation and dissociation of a soluble Fe(III)–glycine complex, formation of iron(III) hydroxide and its precipitation. The rate constants of iron(III) hydroxide precipitation were assessed. The precipitation is first-order with respect to dissolved inorganic iron(III). The calculated rate constants of iron(III) precipitation varied from 0.18 × 10–5 s–1 (at 0.2 M total glycine, pH 7.30, I = 0.6 mol dm–3) to 2.22 × 10–3 s–1 (at 0.1 M total glycine, pH 7.30, I = 0.2 mol dm–3). At 0.5 M total glycine and I = 0.6 mol dm–3, the iron(III) precipitation was not observed.
