Chromic acid oxidation of d,l-mandelic acid in the presence and absence of 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) is studied in an aqueous micellar medium under kinetic conditions, [d,l-mandelic acid] >> [Phen]T >> [Cr(VI)]T at different temperatures. From studies on the effect of temperature on the rate constant (k), the activation parameters ∆H≠ (enthalpy of activation) and ∆S≠ (entropy of activation) are evaluated by using the Eyring equation [−ln (kh/kBT) = ∆H≠/RT − ∆S≠/R]. The high value of ∆H≠ indicates that the phen-catalysed path is favoured mainly due to very high negative value of ∆S≠. The negative value of ∆S≠ and the composite rate constant kcat support the suggested cyclic transition state. Both the catalysed and uncatalysed paths show a first-order dependence on [H+], and both also show a first-order dependence on [d,l-mandelic acid]T and [Cr(VI)]T. The Phen-catalysed path is first order in [Phen]T. These observations remain unaltered in the presence of externally added surfactants. The cationic surfactant N-cetylpyridinium chloride is found to retard the rate of the reaction.

The kinetics of chromic acid oxidation of propanaldehyde, butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde in aq. acetic acid have been studied. The product of the oxidation is the corresponding carboxylic acid. The reaction is of first order with respect to each the acid chromate ion, HCrO4⊖, and the aldehyde but of second order to hydrogen ion. The rate increases with proportion of acetic acid in the solution. The activation parameters for the oxidation and enolisation reactions have been evaluated. The rate of enolisation under similar condition is less than that of oxidation. A mechanism in which the first step is the rapid reversible formation of a chromate ester followed by a hydrideion transfer in the rate determining step has been suggested.

The reactivity of the base induced cyclodimerization of 1-(6-arylpyridazin-3-yl)-3-oxidopyridinium chlorides in a pericyclic process have been investigated kinetically at λ 380 nm. The reaction was found to be second order with respect to the liberated betaine and zero order with respect to the base. On the other hand dedimerization (monomer formation) was found to be first order. It was shown that dimerization is favoured at low temperature, whereas dedimerization process is favoured at relatively high temperature (ca 70 °C). Solvent effects on the reaction rate have been found to follow the order ethanol > chloroform ≈ 1,2-dichloroethane. Complete dissociation was accomplished only in 1,2-dichloroethane at ca 70 °C. The thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated by a standard method. Thus, ∆G# has been found to be independent on substituents and solvents. The high negative values of ∆S# supports the cyclic transition state which is in favour with the concerted mechanism. MO calculations using SCF-PPP approximation method indicated low HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the investigated betaines.

Bisulfite reacted with aflatoxin B1 and G1 resulting in their loss of fluorescence. The reaction was first order with rate depending on bisulfite (or the bisulfite and sulfite) concentration(s). Aflatoxin G1 reacted more rapidly with bisulfite than did aflatoxin B1. In the presence of 0.035 M potassium acid phthalate-NaOH buffer (pH 5.5) plus 1.3% (vol/vol) methanol at 25 C, the reaction rate constant for degradation of aflatoxin G1 was 2.23 × 10−2h− and that for aflatoxin B1 was 1.87 × 10−2h− when 50 ml of reaction mixture contained 1.60 g of K2SO3. Besides bisulfite concentrations, temperature influenced reaction rates. The Q10 for the bisulfite-aflatoxin reaction was approximately 2 while activation energies for degrading aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin G1 were 13.1 and 12.6 kcal/mole, respectively. Data suggest that treating foods with 50 to 500 ppm SO2 probably would not effectively degrade appreciable amounts of aflatoxin. Treating foods with 2000 ppm SO2 or more and increasing the temperature might reduce aflatoxin to an acceptable level.

The kinetics of oxidation of diethanolamine and triethanolamine by potassium ferrate(VI)in alkaline liquids at a constant ionic strength has been studied spectrophotometrically in the temperature range of 278.2K-293.2K. The reaction shows first order dependence on potassium ferrate(VI), first order dependence on each reductant, The observed rate constant (kobs) decreases with the increase in [OH-], the reaction is negative fraction order with respect to [OH-]. A plausible mechanism is proposed and the rate equations derived from the mechanism can explain all the experimental results. The rate constants of the rate-determining step and the thermodynamic activation parameters are calculated.

Mn(II) ion catalysis in the oxidation of lactic acid by chromic acid has been investigated between the pH range 2.0 to 4.0; [H+] = 0.1 to 0.4 and [H+] ≥1.1 M. Activation parameters for catalysed and uncatalysed reactions have been evaluated. While C—H bond rupture occurs in the uncatalysed reaction, the rate limiting step of the catalysed reaction involves C-C bond fission.
