Equlibrium constant

Riboflavin undergoes a reversible and overall two-electron reduction process, in two overlapping one-electron steps. Both the final product and the one-electron reduction intermediate show acid base equlibria in the pH range 6-7. Thus a number of species take part in the redox process. Experimental investigation aimed at deriving the related equlibrium constants involves generation of the dihydro-... 

Generation of the carbon based radical in these processes involves the prior formation of a complex between manganese(lll) and the enol of the carbonyl reactant. Intramolecular electron transfer occurs within this complex. Addition to the olefin then takes place within the co-ordination sphere of manganese. When manganese is present in catalytic amount, the relative values of the equlibrium constants between manganese and both the carbonyl compound and the alkene arc important. If the olefm is more strongly complexed then no radical can form and reaction ceases. Reactions are usually carried out at constant current and the current used must correspond to less than the maximum possible rate for the overall chemical steps involved. Excess current caused the anode potential to rise into a region where Kolbe reaction of acetate can occur and this leads to side reactions [28]. 

The logarithm of the equlibrium constant of formation is thus found from the relation.

Another linear Gibbs energy relationship which is used extensively in organic chemistry is the Hammett equation [47]. This equation is used to relate the rate constants and equlibrium constants for reactions of meta- and puru-substituted benzene derivatives. The Hammett equation for the rate constants of a given reaction series is written as...

D12. A countercurrent leaching system is recovering oil from soybeans. The system has five stages. On a volumetric basis, liquid flow rate/solids flow rate = 1.36. 97.5% of the oil entering with the nonsoluble solids is recovered with the solvent. Solvent used is pure. Determine the effective equlibrium constant, m, where m is (kg/m of solute in solvent)/(kg m of solute in solid) and is given by the equation y = m x.
