The pyrolysis of phenylmercaptoacetic acid was investigated by the toluene-carrier technique over the temperature range 760–835 °K. The main products of the decomposition were phenyl mercaptan, carbon dioxide, acetic acid, phenyl methyl sulfide, carbon monoxide, and dibenzyl.The overall decomposition was a first-order reaction with respect to phenylmercaptoacetic acid and could be represented by the two parallel steps:[Formula: see text]Reaction [1] was shown to be a homogeneous first-order dissociation process, and its rate constant was represented by the expression[Formula: see text]The activation energy of this reaction, i.e. 58 kcal/mole, was identified with D(C6H5S—CH2COOH).

The thermal decomposition of phenylacetic acid was investigated by the toluene-carrier technique over the temperature range 587 to 722 °C. The products of the pyrolysis were carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane, dibenzyl, and phenylketene. From the kinetics of the decomposition it was concluded that the reaction[Formula: see text]was a homogeneous, first-order process and that the rate constant of this dissociation step was represented by the expression k = 8 × 1012.e−55,000/RT sec−1. The activation energy of this reaction may be identified with D(C6H5CH2—COOH). The possible reactions of carboxyl radicals are discussed.

Abstract Bound sulfur in a pure thiuram vulcanizate increases relatively rapidly at first at all temperatures, reaches a poorly defined maximum at about 27 to 30%, independent of temperature, and then recedes slightly to reach a limiting value of 25% also independent of temperature, based on the original thiuram disulfide. The rise in sulfur content at the start points to a temperature-independent limiting value of 33%. It is shown that the combination of sulfur in this region initially follows a first order reaction, and goes at the same rate as the reduction in concentration of thiuram disulfide. It can be seen from the above that sulfur may be combined in thiuram vulcanization without simultaneous crosslinking. The dithiocarbamate formation increases rapidly in the region of longer vulcanization times, after the maximum in bound sulfur has been reached, without further combination of sulfur with the vulcanizate. The rate constants for thiuram decrease, for dithiocarbamate increase and for sulfur combination were calculated. The temperature dependence of each of these reactions has practically the same activation energy, 23 kcal/mole. The bound sulfur content of the vulcanizates in pure thiuram vulcanizations is no criterion of the state of vulcanization.

The thermal cycloelimination of carbon monoxide from dicyclopentadiene-1,8-dione is a kinetically well-behaved first-order reaction. At 380 °K the activation parameters for the process are ΔH≠ = 34.5 ± 0.8 kcal mole−1 and ΔS≠ = +9.8 ± 2.3 e.u. mole−1. Application of the theoretical proposals of Woodward and Hoffmann indicates that this necessarily disrotatory decarbonylation may be concerted.

The thermal cis–trans isomerization of crotononitrile has been studied in the gas phase at pressures from 0.2 to 20 mm and temperatures from 300 °C to 560 °C. For the equilibrium cis → trans, ΔH = 0.17 ± 0.12 kcal/mole, and ΔS = −0.39 ± 0.19 cal/mole °K. The isomerization is a homogeneous, unimolecular, reversible first-order reaction, the rate constant for the reaction cis → trans being given by[Formula: see text]The only side reaction with appreciable rate was a surface polymerization.

An alternative method of determining exothermic reactor model parameters which include first order reaction rate constant is described in this paper. The method is based on known in reactor temperature development and is suitable for processes with changing quality of input substances. This method allows us to evaluate the reaction substances composition change and is also capable of the reaction rate constant (parameters of the Arrhenius equation) determination. Method can be used in exothermic batch or semi- batch reactors running processes based on the first order reaction. An example of such process is given here and the problem is shown on its mathematical model with the help of simulations.

A quantitative analysis of the variable-temperature 1H N.M.R. spectra of acetylacetonatotrimethyl-platinum(IV) has been made. In CDCl3 solution the exchange of acetylacetonate ligands is a first-order reaction and proceeds predominantly by dissociation of the dimer into two separated five-coordinate activated complexes. The activation energy is 61.5 � 0.8 kJ mol-1.

A detailed kinetic study of oxidation of toluene and its derivatives by cobaltic acetate in 95 vol% acetic acid is reported. The reaction was found to be profoundly affected by a steric factor and rather insensitive to the C—H bond energy. The order of reactivities of various alkylbenzenes is quite reversal to that of hydrogen abstraction reactions. The reaction was of first-order with respect to toluene, of second-order with respect to cobaltic ion and of inverse first-order with respect to cobaltous ion. The oxidation by cobaltic ion seems to proceed via an initial reversible electron transfer from toluene to cobaltic ion, yielding [Formula: see text] which is oxidized into benzyl acetate by another cobaltic ion. The apparent activation energy for toluene was found to be 25.3 kcal mole−1, and the same activation energy was found for ethylbenzene, cumene, diphenylmethane, and triphenylmethane.

<p>Abstract: Carbon dioxide content in biogas produced by fermentation is still high. Because of<br />that, biogas need a process purification to reduce carbon dioxide content. In this work, Ca(OH)2<br />solution was contacted with biogas in a column for reducing the CO<br />2<br />content. This research<br />studied the effect of packing type used in absorber column on the rate of CO<br />2<br />reduction. Based<br />on experimental data and modelling, it was found that the reaction between CO<br />2<br />followed first order reaction. The constant of rate reaction was affected by the packing type<br />which using glass ball, plastic pipe, ceramic, wood, and clay roof, the constant rate were 0.781,<br />0.464, 0.916, 0.637, and 0.987 min<br />Keywords: Biogas, CO<br />2<br />, Ca(OH)2<br />-1<br />, respectively.<br />, absorber, rate of reaction</p>

1. Static titrations reveal an exact stoicheiometry between various haem derivatives and apoperoxidase prepared from one isoenzyme of the horseradish enzyme. 2. Carbon monoxide–protohaem reacts rapidly with apoperoxidase and the kinetics can be accounted for by a mechanism already applied to the reaction of carbon monoxide–haem derivatives with apomyoglobin and apohaemoglobin. 3. According to this mechanism a complex is formed first whose combination and dissociation velocity constants are 5×108m−1sec.−1 and 103sec.−1 at pH9·1 and 20°. The complex is converted into carbon monoxide–haemoprotein in a first-order process with a rate constant of 235sec.−1 for peroxidase and 364sec.−1 for myoglobin at pH9·1 and 20°. 4. The effects of pH and temperature were examined. The activation energy for the process of complex-isomerization is about 13kcal./mole. 5. The similarity in the kinetics of the reactions of carbon monoxide–haem with apoperoxidase and with apomyoglobin suggests structural similarities at the haem-binding sites of the two proteins.

In the homogeneous oxidation of mercaptans by potassium persulphate in concentrated acetic acid, the rate of disappearance of potassium persulphate during an experiment is first order with respect to the measured persulphate concentration. The rate constant is independent of the kind of mercaptan used, and is independent of mercaptan concentration over a wide range of mercaptan concentrations. The rate constant falls off, however, at low mercaptan concentrations, this falling-off being less pronounced if the rate is reduced by the addition of salts. The mercaptan concentration at which the rate constant, calculated from persulphate disappearance, becomes independent of mercaptan concentration increases as the temperature is increased. A salt effect prevails, the rate constant being decreased with increased potassium ion concentration. The equivalent conductance of solutions of potassium persulphate in the solvent used shows a behavior on dilution which indicates that potassium persulphate is incompletely ionized in the solvent. A mechanism is proposed for the reaction, in which it is assumed that dissociation of persulphate ions into sulphate free radicals is rate-controlling, with an activation energy of the order 26,000 cal. per mole.
