Kinetics of the reaction of N-2, 6-tri-chlorobenzoquinonimine with sodium thiosulphate in methanol-water mixtures

ABSTRACT

The kinetics of the reaction of N-2,6-trichlorobenzoquinonimine with sodium thiosulfate has been studied in methanol-water mixtures over the temperature range 25-40C. The rates were found to increase with increasing dielectric constant. The reaction was found to obey the Arrhenius equation. The energy of activation and the thermodynamic parameters of activation were calculated and discussed as evidence of solvation effects
