| The rate of reduction of Cr6+ to Cr3+ reaction in K2Cr2O7 has been studied and it is found to be first order. The rate of reaction at 0.05 mole of K2Cr2O7 have been measured in absence of quaternary ammonium salts as CTAB (Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide) and CPYB (Cetyl trimethyl pyridinium bromide). The rates of reaction are also measured in presence of CTAB and CPYB at four different temperatures (25, 30, 35 and 40oC). Effects of rotations are also studied. The rate of reaction was decreased by addition of salts. Thermodynamic parameters ∆G*, ∆H* and ∆S* are given. |
