To study thermodynamic parameters of oxidation of 2 ? Hydroxy ? 1 ? Naphthalidene Anil & Substituted Anils by Ce4+ ? Ce3+ Redox system in aqueous Sulphuric acid medium at variable temperatures

Abstract

Oxidation of 2 ? Hydroxy ? 1 ? Naphthalidene anil & Substituted anils by The kinetics of oxidation of the Schiff base & its substituted anils by Ce4+ ? Ce3+ Redox system in aqueous Sulphuric acid medium has been studied. The study is carried out at five variable temperatures & thermodynamic parameters, ?H, ?G, ?E & ?S have been calculated & reported. The frequency factor (A) also determine & a suitable possible mechanism has been suggested on the basis of kinetic results.
