Temperature dependence of the relative rate constants of the reactions of alkanes with oh radicals in aqueous solution

A study was carried out on the rate constant ratio ( k RH / k EtH ) in reactions of alkanes C 3 H 8 , n -C 4 H 10 , n -C 5 H 12 , n -C 6 H 14 , i -C 4 H 10 , c -C 5 H 10 , and c -C 6 H 12 with OH radicals in water at 5-55°C and the relative activation parameters A RH / A EtH and E EtH – E RH . The v...

Zusammenfassung:A study was carried out on the rate constant ratio ( k RH / k EtH ) in reactions of alkanes C 3 H 8 , n -C 4 H 10 , n -C 5 H 12 , n -C 6 H 14 , i -C 4 H 10 , c -C 5 H 10 , and c -C 6 H 12 with OH radicals in water at 5-55°C and the relative activation parameters A RH / A EtH and E EtH – E RH . The values of E EtH – E RH in water and the gas phase have opposite signs. The values of k RH / k EtH decrease with increasing temperature in the gas phase but increase in water. The behavior of these reactions in water may be attributed to a solvent cage effect.
