Equilibration rate

Were one to study reaction (6-10) under conditions where [X-] and [Y ] are much higher than [RX] and [RY], the kinetics could be described by an equilibration rate constant given as... 

There is one pathway, but two positive terms and no negative ones. The summation results because ke represents a rate constant for equilibration, not the rate. The precept with which this section started is applicable to the rate itself, not to an equilibration rate constant. 

The next situation we shall consider is a sum of constants. One instance in which this form arises is when an equilibration rate constant is evaluated. 

The accumulation of chemicals can also be expressed in terms of k s. Unfor-mnately, kuS are expressed in several different ways, contributing to uncertainty in data comparability. The symbol ku was initially used in the SPMD related literature as a parameter that describes the equilibration rate constant (Huckins et al., 1993), whereas in later work, the symbol ke was adopted for this parameter (Booij et al., 1998 Huckins et al., 1999). Depending on whether contaminant concentrations in SPMDs are expressed on a mass or a volume basis, kuS may have units of or mL mL d (i.e., d ) or mL g d f These different unit-forms of ku are interrelated by... 

Although catalytic amounts of base proved sufficient for library generation, 10 equivalents were used in order to achieve a reasonable equilibration rate for the slightly different ratio between the quantities of aldehydes and nihoalkane (5 1). Furthermore, these benzaldehydes were chosen in view of their similar individual reactivity in the nitroaldol reaction, resulting in close to isoenergefic behavior in the produced DCL.

In some cases the equilibration rate is very slow compared to the time scale of the analytical separation. The pre-equilibrated reaction mixture behaves indeed as a mixture of inert components and can be separated by capillary electrophoresis. The concentrations are directly derived from the peak areas or peak heights after calibration. This method is suitable if ligand and substrate are separable and the migration time does not exceed 1% of the half-life of complex decomposition. 

A ring-opening/ring-closure pathway has also been proposed to explain the conversion of 4-phenylfuroxan to the 3-phenyl tautomer under electrochemical oxidation conditions <86IZV1691>. The factors influencing both the equilibrium constants and the equilibration rates have been dis-... 

The kinetics of the 1 1 substitution of aqua Mo with NCS- and HC2Oj have been studied in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid solutions, 7 = 0.10M (CF3S03Na), with the Mo reactant in greater than ten-fold excess (to avoid higher complex formation).30 First-order equilibration rate constants, /ccq, determined by the stopped-flow method can be expressed as in equation (1). At 25 °C ki for the formation is 590 M-1 s-1, and i for the reverse reaction is 0.21 s-1. With oxalate the rate law is equation (2), where K is the acid dissociation constant for H2C204 to HC2Oj, which is believed to be the reactant. In this case, at 25 °C, k2 for formation is 43 M-1 s-1 and is 4.7 x 10-3 s 1. 

There are few quantitative studies with H2S as a reactant, and some difficulties were experienced in choosing conditions appropriate to the study. At pH 9.2-10.2 (0.25 MNH3/NH4 buffer), I = 0.50 M (NaCl), plots of equilibration rate constants /ccq against [M0O2-] are in accord with equation (40). 

The equilibria (relative stabilities) and equilibration (rate of interconversion) of the rotational conformations of ethane and butane were discussed in Section 5-2. If you review this material, it will be clear that forming a ring from a hydrocarbon chain will greatly reduce the number of possible staggered and eclipsed conformations. 

In the lower range of temperatures, the experimentally observed equilibration rates are far higher than those to be expected from the exchange experiments. 

A chemical system with conjugated chemical reactions is usually open, and a stationary state far from the chemical equilibrium is typical of it. Stationary proceeding of chemical reactions in open systems (stationary flow systems) is characterized by the equilibrated rates of the mass and energy transfer to the system from the environment and the inverse process. 

Experiments conducted on the solubility behavior of the odlitic sediments indicated that they were not in metastable equilibrium with their pore waters. On the basis of equilibration rates, Bernstein and Morse (1985) estimated that the residence time of the pore waters in these sediments was only a few days or less. 

Two adjoined Pt atoms are necessary for hydrogen (or deuterium) to dissociate. We will expect that the H2-D2 equilibration rate has a linear or second order dependence on the part of the metal uncovered by coke, A linear one if the metal is covered by coke islands, and a... 

Results of Winter and Hill [126] and of Carnevale, Carey, and Larson [125] show that the equilibration rate of the rotational degree of freedom decreases, as the temperature is increased from 300°K to 1273°K, for H2 and D2 as well as for N2 and 02. Figure 3.26, from Carnevale et al., compares the temperature dependence of Zr for N2, from a muffle-tube experiment, with the theory of Parker [44]. Each curve is normalized to a value at 0°C. Qualitative agreement is observed. 

Looking at Table 7.7, one can see that all oxygen equilibration rates at 300°C are in the I0 -I0 range. A factor of only 4 is observed between the most and the less active Rh-catalyst. Everything proceeds without the participation of the support.
