| Abstract: | The kinetics of micellar catalyzed oxidation of oxalic acid [OA] by N-bromophthalimide was studied in the presence of perchloric acid at 308 K. The orders of reaction with respect to [Oxalic acid], [oxidant], and [H+] were found to be fractional, first and negative fractional order respectively. Cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide increased the reaction rate. The effect of phthalimide, mercuric acetate and inorganic salts, that is, [Cl?][Br?] has also been done. The rate reaction decreases with increasing dielectric constant of the medium. The results are treated quantitatively in terms of Piszkiewicz and Berezin models. The rate constant (Kobs), cooperatively index (n), binding constant (ks + ko), and corresponding activation parameters (Ea, ΔH#, ΔS#, and ΔG#) were determined. A suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental finding has been proposed. |
