In this report, determination of unbound aquo iron species is accomplished by a kinetic method involving reaction with sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) on a time scale which is very short with respect to reaction of SSA with the glutathione complexes of iron. The data are used to calculate conditional binding constants for Fe(III) to glutathione. Binding constants in 0.1 M ionic strength media were obtained between pH 1 and 2.4 by the kinetic method, and near pH = 3 by spectrophotometry and by examination of the ratio of rate of complex formation and dissociation. The conditional binding 'constant' between pH 1 and 3 is represented as pK = −1.96 – 0.50pH. This is consistent with the importance of reactions involving only very limited proton release. Spectrophotometric data show that the —OH group on Fe(OH)2+ is lost on glutathione complexing. Kinetics of the complex formation reaction between aquo iron(III) species and glutathione are slower than rates of reaction of iron(III) with simple ligands.The glutathione system is regarded as a model system important to natural water chemistry because it is a widely distributed biological sulfur-containing chelating agent.

Abstract The aim of this work is to determine the thermodynamic parameters and the kinetics of complex formation between orthophthalaldehyde (OPA) and agmatine (AGM) in an alkaline medium (pH 13). Firstly, the association constant (Ka) between orthophthalaldehyde and agmatine was determined at different temperatures (between 298 K and 338 K) with a step size of 10 K. Secondly, the thermodynamic parameters such as standard enthalpy (ΔH°), standard entropy (ΔS°),and Gibbs energy (∆G) were calculated, where a positive value of ΔH° (+45.50 kJ/mol) was found, which shows that the reaction is endothermic. In addition, the low value of ΔS°(+0.24 kJ/mol) indicates a slight increase in the disorder in the reaction medium. Furthermore, the negative values of ΔG between −35.62 kJ/mol and −26.02 kJ/mol show that the complex formation process is spontaneous. Finally, the parameters of the kinetics of the reaction between OPA and AGM were determined as follows: when the initial concentration of AGM (5 × 10−6 M) is equal to that of the OPA, the results show that the reaction follows an overall 1.5 order kinetics with an initial rate of 5.1 × 10−7Mmin−1 and a half-life of 8.12 min. The partial order found in relation to the AGM is 0.8. This work shows that the excess of OPA accelerates the formation reaction of the complex.

The main aim of this study is to estimate the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of thermal decomposition of starches by the Coats–Redfern method. This procedure is a commonly used thermogravimetric analysis/difference thermal gravimetry/differental thermal analysis (TG/DTG-DTA) kinetic method for single rate form. The study also shows a proposed method for reactive hydroxyl groups content on the starch surface determination, and values were in range of 960.21–1078.76 mg OH per 1 g of starch. Thermal processing revealed the thermophysical properties of biomass for the kinetics of decomposition estimation. Activation energies reached the values in range of approximately 66.5–167 kJ·mol−1. This research also enables the determination of the temperature conditions required for becoming the desired form of material. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve the requested compact porous structure in an activation process, because in the native state, the polymer exhibits limited applications as a result of thermal decomposition, low shear stress, retrogradation, and syneresis, hence the low solubility in organic solvents. Thermodynamic parameters and reactive hydroxyl groups in this article review are innovative and have not yet been found in the literature.

Boron determination in borophosphosilicate glass films by the ICP-AES or ICP-MS technique can be performed after dissolution of the sample in HF solution. However, addition of HF to boric acid standard solution can cause a drift in the slope of the calibration curve. The signal change was correlated with the kinetics of the borontetrafluoride complex formation reaction. The mechanism was explained by the selectively increased boron transport into the plasma, which was caused by the more efficient diffusion of borontrifluoride gas through the aerosol particles into the nebulizer gas. With the kinetics of borontetrafluoride complex formation taken into consideration, an accurate and precise method was developed for the determination of boron in BPSG films.

The reaction between Co(III)-EDTA and hypophosphite ion, catalyzed by Pd(II) was chosen as the indicator reaction. The inhibition kinetics of this catalytic reaction have been investigated by a mechanistic approach in the presence of some inhibitors. Catalysts other than PdCl2, that is Pt, Au, Ni salts, did not exhibit any effect on the reaction. An original reaction mechanism is proposed based on the experimental data. The important variables were optimized for maximum sensitivity. The calibration graph, which was prepared following the inhibition kinetic method, showed a linear relationship (r = ? 0.9878) between the initial rate and iodide in the concentration range of 2?35 ng/cm3 I- with a detection limit of 1.2 ng/cm3 I (3Sb/m criterion). The RSDs of the method, (N = 5) for 7 and 14 ng/cm3 were 1.19 and 0.81 %, respectively, depended on iodide concentration. The method was only applied to the determination of iodide in water, urine, iodized table salt and some drug samples and was compared with the modified Sandell?Kolthoff method.
