The Kinetics of Electron Transfer Reaction of Methylene Blue and Titanium Trichloride in different Solvents
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The kinetics of the electron transfer reaction of methylene blue and titanium trichloride was studied in water and aqueousalcoholic solvents at various temperatures by spectrophotometry. The rate of reaction was observed by taking change inabsorbance as a function of time at λmax 660 nm. The reaction is pseudo-first order, dependent on concentration of titaniumtrichloride at fixed concentration of methylene blue.The effect of solvent was studied in the pH/Ho range from 4 to 7. It was observed that the rate of reaction increased withincrease in polarity of the reaction medium. The rate of reaction was high in acidic condition and decreased with furtherincrease in hydrogen ions activity. The increase in temperature increased the rate of electron transfer reaction of methyleneblue and titanium trichloride. Activation energy (Ea) was calculated by Arrhenius relation. The absence of any reactionintermediate was confirmed by spectroscopic and kinetic investigations. A plausible mechanism for the reaction in line withouter-sphere reaction pathway has been proposed. Thermodynamic parameters such as activation energy (Ea), enthalpychange (∆H), free energy change (∆G) and entropy change (∆S) were also evaluated.
