Abstract: | The kinetics of the reaction of leuco methylene blue (MBH) with 2,6-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone (DMBQ) were studied in a heptane/bis(2-ethylhexyl)-sulfosuccinate (AOT)/water reverse micellar system. The pseudo-first-order
rate constant (k
obsd) obtained in the presence of excess of DMBQ was found to be proportional to the initial concentration of DMBQ for W
0=3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 (W
0=H2O]/AOT]). The second-order rate constant (k
2=k
obsd/DMBQ]0) increased with an increase in the W
0 value, but was almost independent of the concentration of the water pool. A mechanism involving the distribution of DMBQ
between the reverse micellar interface and bulk organic solvent was proposed to explain these findings. |
