Kinetic studies on the catalytic reduction of nitrotoluene by hydrazine
Keyword(s):
Kinetics of reduction of p-nitrotoluene by hydrazine in presence of Raney nickel catalyst have been studied spectrophotometrically. It has been found that the reaction is first order with respect to both hydrazine and nitrotoluene. The influence of solvent, salt, and the amount of catalyst on the reaction rate has been investigated. The rate constant was found to depend on the dielectric constant, the ionic strength, and on the catalyst concentration. The activation energy was estimated to be 103.92 kJ mol−1 in 73.58% ethanol in water. This value decreases considerably when the polarity of the solvent increases and when other salts are added. In pure water the value is 32.25 kJ mol−1.
