Arrhenius plot kinetic analysis

As a model esterification reaction, the formation of ethyl lactate has been studied and its complete kinetic and thermodynamic analysis has been performed. The formation rate of ethyl lactate has been examined as a function of temperature and catalyst loading. In early experiments, it was determined that lactic acid itself catalyzes esterification, so that there is significant conversion even without ion exchange resin present. The Arrhenius plot for both resin-catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions indicates that the uncatalyzed...

Cure Kinetics. The cure kinetics of the mixed system to the B-stage were determined by the method outlined by Senich, MacKnight and Schneider (7) for two epoxy resins cured with dicyandianide by dynamic spring analysis (DSA). Senich et al. (7) used the elapsed time to the loss peak maximum of tan delta as a measure of the rate of the reaction at each temperature and for each frequency. The slope of an Arrhenius plot of In (tmax) vs. 1/T was then used to determine the activation energy. 

The variation of the cathodic peak potential with the scan rate (0.3-0.4 mV precision on each determination, 1 mV reproducibility over the whole set of experiments) allows the determination of the rate constant with a relative error of 3-11%. The results are consistent with those derived from anodic-to-cathodic peak current ratios. Simulation of the whole voltammogram confirms the absence of significant systematic errors that could arise from the assumptions underlying the analysis of kinetic data. Activation parameters derived from weighted regression Arrhenius plots of the data points taken at 5 or 6 tern-... 

Quantitative kinetic analysis was performed on all the catalytic oxidation sequences and are presented in the form of an Arrhenius plot. Figure 2. Included in this plot are the data obtained for the cobalt catalyzed oxidation of graphite reported previously (lef. 17). Inspection of this data clearly demonstrates that although sulfide treatment did not completely inhibit catalytic oxidation, it had a significant retarding effect on the rate of reaction. 

Thus, the decomposition kinetics of carbonates are in full agreement with the theoretical concepts based on the CDV mechanism. The analysis shows that long-term discussions concerning the decomposition mechanism and the influence of the experimental conditions (in particular, the presence of CO2) on the reaction rate, initiated 70 years ago in a well-known paper by Zawadzki and Bretsznajder [114] and continuing up to now [108], are chiefly associated with the fundamental limitations of the Arrhenius plot and second-law methods used for estimating the kinetic parameters. 

We have previously reported a break in similar Arrhenius plots at a lower temperature (1). Our previous analysis did not properly take into account the behavior of the iron-sulfur center as reductant to the c cytochromes. Furthermore, the rate constants calculated from the overall fitting were underestimates of the true values, especially below 20 C, since the initial rising phase of fitting curve had to be reduced to compensate for the lag period in the bjj reduction kinetics. Therefore the rate constants obtained from the overall fitting are hardly valid. 

In table 4 we have collected various characteristics of the ordered structures in the a -phase, such as the anomaly temperatures (Tan) in electric resistivity or the binding energies as determined from a kinetic analysis of the resistivity data in the vicinity of the anomaly via an Arrhenius plot (cf. Daou et al. 1988a). An immediately visible result (fig. 8) is the correlation between and the c/a-ratio, indicating a lower ordering temperature (i.e. a higher mobility of H) for a c/a-ratio closer to the ideal (8/3) = 1.63 (i.e. in systems with less distortion). Note also the isotope effect, with a 4-5 K higher Tan... 

Equation 13.26 is in the form of a straight line. A plot of the natural log of the rate constant (In k) versus the inverse of the temperature in kelvins (1/T) yields a straight line with a slope of -EJR and a y-intercept of In A. Such a plot is called an Arrhenius plot and is commonly used in the analysis of kinetic data, as shown in Example 13.7.
