The deacetylation of aspirin is promoted by α- and β-cyclodextrins (αCD and βCD) in basic aqueous solution. From saturation kinetics the dissociation constants (Kd) for the aspirin anion – CD complexes are 12 mM (αCD) and 20 mM (βCD). At pH 12.25 the limiting rate constant for ester cleavage is 14 times (αCD) and 7 times (βCD) that in the medium alone. For the 4-chloroaspirin anion (Kd = 3.8 mM) the cleavage induced by αCD is 240 times that in the medium, but 5-chloroaspirin shows a very small effect. The results are discussed in terms of a model derived from that of Bender and co-workers (1967) and are compared to earlier work. For the αCD anion, the 4-chloroaspirin anion is almost as good as "substrate" as m-chloro-and m-tert-butylphenyl acetates. Compared to hydroxide ion, the αCD anion is better at cleaving 4-chloroaspirin (2000×) and aspirin (36×).

The rates of deprotonation of several β-keto esters in basic aqueous solution are elevated by α- and β-cyclodextrin (α- and β-CD). In most cases saturation kinetics are observed that indicate fairly strong binding of the esters to the CDs (Kd = 0.22–11 mM); catalytic ratios (kc/ku) are in the range 1.9–17. For esters of the form RCO-CH2COOEt with both α- and β-CD the values of Kd and kc/ku show little sensitivity to the acyl group, RCO (R = Me, Et, Pr, i-Pr), and for 2-carboethoxycyclopentanone, a cyclic analogue, these parameters are similar. In contrast, for R-COCH2CO-OR′ (R = Me or Et; R′ = Me, Et, allyl) there is a marked dependence of the parameters on the alkoxyl group, OR′. These results suggest that the β-keto esters studied bind to the CDs with their alkoxyl groups in the CD cavity and that the catalysis ensues from the complexes thus formed. Variations in two other kinetic parameters, k2 = kc/Kd (substrate selectivity) and KTS = ku/k2 (apparent constant for dissociation of CD from the transition state) support this interpretation. Apparent second-order rate constants for the reaction of the esters with neutral CD (k2 = kc/Kd) are 1900–360 000 M−1 s−1 (at pH ≈ 10), whereas for hydroxide ion attack on ethyl acetoacetate kOH = 5500 M−1 s−1. Assuming the pKas of the CDs are 12.2 and 12.3, deprotonation of the esters by the CD anions has rate constants of 105 to 5 × 107 M−1 s−1. Thus, binding of the β-keto esters in the CD cavities, adjacent to a basic oxyanion site, enhances the reactivity of the CD anions towards these weak carbon acids by at least 2–4 orders of magnitude.

The oxidation of nitrite ions and of iodate ions by hypochlorite ions in aqueous solution has been examined. The oxidation of nitrite is really a reaction of hypochlorous acid, with the slow stage HOCl + NO2− + H2O → H3O+ + Cl− + NO3−. The rate constant is given by log k = 7.36−6450/RT (time in minutes, and the activation energy in calories). The oxidation of iodate is chiefly a reaction of hypochlorite ions, probably ClO− + IO3− → Cl− + IO4−, although the rate is somewhat increased by a higher concentration of hydroxide ions. The rate constant is given by log k = 16.15−26,100/RT. These results are compared with other oxidations by hypochlorite ions, to see if any general trends are apparent.

In this research, treatment of diatomaceous earth, Sangiran, Central Java using hydrogen chloride (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on kinetics of Cd(II) adsorption in aqueous solution has been carried out. The work was conducted by mixing an amount of grounded diatomaceous earth (200 mesh in size) with HCl or H2SO4 solution in various concentrations for two hours at temperature range of 100 - 150oC. The mixture was then filtered and washed with water until the filtrate pH is approximately 7 and then the residue was dried for four hours at a temperature of 70oC. The product was used as an adsorbent to adsorb Cd(II) in aqueous solution with various concentrations. The Cd(II) adsorbed was determined by analyzing the rest of Cd(II) in the solution using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The effect of treatment was evaluated from kinetic parameter of adsorption rate constant calculated based on the simple kinetic model. Results showed  that before equilibrium condition reached, adsorpstion of Cd(II) occurred through two steps, i.e. a step tends to follow a reaction of irreversible first order  (step I) followed by reaction of reversible first order (step II). Treatment with acids, either hydrogen chloride or sulfuric acid, decreased adsorption rate constant for the step I from 15.2/min to a range of 6.4 - 9.4/min.  However, increasing concentration of acid (in a range of concentration investigated) did not give significant and constant change of adsorption rate constant. For step II process,  adsorption involved physical interaction with the sufficient low adsorption energy (in a range of 311.3 - 1001 J/mol).     Keywords: adsorption, cdmium, diatomaceous earth, kinetics.

The one electron oxidant •Br2− reacts with 5-methyl-1-thia-5-azacyclooctane (4) in aqueous solution at high pH with an overall rate constant of ~2 × 108 M s−1. The radical intermediate produced has a broad maximum at 500 nm with ε = 2400 M−1 cm−1 and at pH 10 decays with a first order rate constant of 2.3 ± 0.3 × 104 s−1, first half-life of 30 ± 5 μs. Its characteristics do not correspond to those of the [Formula: see text] species reported by Asmus and co-workers. The species appears to be the same as the cation radical reported earlier in the one electron oxidation of 4 in acetonitrile. This species is considered to have an [Formula: see text] type structure, which provides transannular stabilization.

We propose an approach for monitoring the concentration of dissociated carboxylic acid species in dilute aqueous solution. The dissociated acid species are quantified employing inline Raman spectroscopy in combination with indirect hard modeling (IHM) and multivariate curve resolution (MCR). We introduce two different titration-based hard model (HM) calibration procedures for a single mono- or polyprotic acid in water with well-known (method A) or unknown (method B) acid dissociation constants p Ka. In both methods, spectra of only one acid species in water are prepared for each acid species. These spectra are used for the construction of HMs. For method A, the HMs are calibrated with calculated ideal dissociation equilibria. For method B, we estimate p Ka values by fitting ideal acid dissociation equilibria to acid peak areas that are obtained from a spectral HM. The HM in turn is constructed on the basis of MCR data. Thus, method B on the basis of IHM is independent of a priori known p K a values, but instead provides them as part of the calibration procedure. As a detailed example, we analyze itaconic acid in aqueous solution. For all acid species and water, we obtain low HM errors of < 2.87 × 10−4mol mol−1 in the cases of both methods A and B. With only four calibration samples, IHM yields more accurate results than partial least squares regression. Furthermore, we apply our approach to formic, acetic, and citric acid in water, thereby verifying its generalizability as a process analytical technology for quantitative monitoring of processes containing carboxylic acids.

In a previous paper it was shown that if HXOH is an amphoteric electrolyte, it is possible to express the concentration of the various ions present in its aqueous solution in terms of the concentration of the unionised substance, the dissociation constants of the substance acting as acid and as base respectively, and the ionisation constant of water.
