| Abstract: | A general method to find the rate constant and particle self-diffusion coefficient is suggested for a heterogeneous isotopic exchange reaction which is controlled by surface mass reaction or controlled by a combination of surface mass reaction and intraparticle diffusion. The values of the kinetic parameter, ξ1 (ratio of the forward surface mass reaction rate to the intraparticle diffusion rate), particle self-diffusion coefficient D and rate constant k are obtained by the proposed method for the isotopic exchange reaction systems CaCO3(s)/Ca2+(aq) and CaC2O4(s)/Ca2+(aq). |
