    CHAPTER-IV

    RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

    Kinetics of oxidation in absence of monomer

    The Kinetics of oxiation of lactic acid (LA) by Ce(IV) in the absence of

    monomer was carried out at the temperature 30oC and 350C. The rate of oxidant

    consumption (-d[Ce(IV)]/dt) were proportional to [Ce(IV)] , (Table1,Fig1)

    .Variation of rates with substrate concentration (Table2,Fig 2) suggested the

    formation of 1:1 complex intermediates prior to oxidation.The plots of

    (-d [Ce (IV) ]/dt)-1against [LA]-1were linear(Table3,Fig3), with an intercept the

    complex formation between the oxidant and the substrate in the redox pair. Double

    reciprocal plots of (-d[Ce (IV) / dt)-1 vs[H+]-1 were also found to be linear

    (Table4 ,fig4).

    The results of oxidation can be accounted for by the following scheme

    where Ce (IV) represents the first species of oxidation .

    Where, C represents the complex formation between the substrate and the

    oxidant.

    The two eqilibrium K1and K

    2were treated separately so that,

    K1

    = ([LA - H+]eq

    ) / ([LA]eq

    [H+]) ...........(1)

    and

    [LA]T

    = [LA - H+]eq

    + [LA]eq

    ........................(2)

    From equation(1),

    [LA - H+]eq

    = K1[LA]

    eq[H+]

    Introducing this value in equation (2),We get,

    [LA]T

    = K1

    [LA]eq

    [H+] + [LA]eq

    = [LA]eq

    (1 + K1[H+]) ........................(3)

    Where [LA]eq

    denotes the equilibrium concentration of LA also,

    [Ce (IV)]T

    = [Ce(IV)]

    eq

    + [C] .........................(4)

    From the kinetic step (2)

    K2= [C] / ([LA - H+]

    eq[Ce (IV)]

    eq)

  • 8/13/2019 Result Selvi

    3/27

    [C] = K2[LA-H+]

    eq[Ce (IV)]eq ..........................(5)

    Substituting equation (5) in equation(4),

    [Ce(IV)]T= [Ce(IV)]

    eq+K

    2[LA - H+]

    eq[Ce (IV)]

    eq

    = [Ce (IV)]eq

    (1+K2[LA - H+]

    eq) ..........................(6)

    Where [Ce(IV)]eq

    represents the equitibrium concentration of ceric ion.

    By applying steady-state approximation to the intermediate(R

    ), the

    following expression can be derived from the kinetic scheme-I ,steps(iii) and (iv):

    -d[R

    ] / dt = K0[Ce (IV)]

    eq[R

    ] - Kr[C] = 0

    therefore

    K0[Ce (IV) ]

    eq[R

    ] = Kr[C]

    [R

    ] = [Kr[C] ) / (K0[Ce (IV)]eq.................................(7)

    The rate law for the oxidation could then be derived as follows.

    From the Kinetic steps,

    -d [Ce (IV) / dt = Kr[C]+K0[Ce(IV)]eq[R

    ]

    =Kr[C]+K0[Ce(IV)]eqKr[C] / (K0[Ce(IV)]eq

    )

    = 2Kr[C]

    From the equation (5),

  • 8/13/2019 Result Selvi

    4/27

    -d[Ce(IV)] / dt = 2Kr.K

    eq[Ce(IV)]

    eq

    By using the equation (1),

    -d[Ce(IV)] / dt = 2KrK

    1K

    eq[H+][Ce(IV)]

    eq

    Applying the equation (3) and (6)

    -d[Ce(IV)/dt=(2KrK

    T[H+]/1+ K

    1[H+])x(1+K

    eq)

    =R0

    The above equation explain the dependence of the rate on Ce(IV)

    concentration and also variable with substrate concentration.The observation of

    Michelis-Menton kineties, i.e.,the formation of a complex between the reactants

    allow the oxidation data to be treated according to the method of Line Wearer and

    Burk.

    Thus the above equation can be written as follows:

    (2KrK1K2 [LA]T[Ce(IV)]T[H+])

    -d[Ce(IV)]/dt =

    (1+K1[H+])(1+K 2K 1[LA]eq[H

    +])

    (2KrK1K2[LA]T[Ce(IV)]T[H+])

    =(1+K1K2[LA]T[H

    +])/(1+K1[H+])

    (2KrK1K2[LA]T[Ce(IV)]T[H+])

    =

    (1+K1[H+]+ K1K2[LA]T[H

    +])

    T[Ce(IV)]

    T)

    T) ................................(8)

    This equation explains the linear plot of(-d[Ce(IV)]/dt)-1 vs[H+]-1,

    (-d[Ce(IV)]/dt)-1 vs[LA]-1

    Equation (8) explain the dependence of rate on[Ce(IV)].

    Thus Kr could be evaluated from the plots of (-d[Ce(IV)]/dt)-1 vs [LA]-1

    from the intercepts of the plots of(-d[Ce(IV)]/dt)-1vs[H+])-1, K2could be evaluated

    The value of K1can be determined from the slope of the plots of (-d[Ce(IV)]/dt)-1

    vs [H+]-1by knowing the values of krand k

    2. The calculated data are listed in Table

    5. The thermodynamic parameters calculated for the reaction are also listed in the

    same table.

    Oxidation in the presence of monomer

    Where the oxidation of lactic acid by Ce(IV) was carried out in dilute

    sulphuric acid medium in the presence of monomer it was observed that the rates

    of disapperance of ceric ion were directly proportional to [Ce(IV)]. The plots of

    rate versus ceric ion concentration were linear (Table6, Fig5). The rate were

    variable with substrate conentration (Table7, Fig6). The order with respect to

    monomer concentration was found to be unity as sum from the linear plots of rates

    versus monomer concentration (Table8, Fig7) which means that, under the present

    experimental conditions ceric ions were involved in a M+ Ce(IV)- type initiation

    reaction. The plots of (-d[Ce(IV)]/dt)1against [LA]-1were linear with intercept on

    the ordinate as shown in the (Table9, Fig8) The plots of(-d[Ce(IV)/dt) -1 vs [H+]

    were linear with respect on the rate axis (Table10, Fig 9).

    For methyl methacrylate the intercepts of the lines on the y-axis,may arise

    due to an one of the following reasons.

  • 8/13/2019 Result Selvi

    11/27

    (a)A side reaction involving oxidation of the monomer by ceric ion.

    (b) A side reaction involving oxidation of the impurities in the monomer by

    ceric ion.The possibility of oxidation of the impurities in the monomer by ceric ion

    receives some support from the evidences in the literature , where impurities

    present in the polymerization system have been shown to affect the determination

    of reaction rates.We therefore conclude that the initiation takes place by a direct

    reaction between the monomer and ceric ion.This may probably involves an

    electron transfer from the ceric ion to the monmer, producing a radical ion of the

    type CH2=CHX,which in similar to the one proposed by bawn and sharp4 in theoxidation of olefins by cobaltic ion. The direct dependence of the rate on monomer

    concentration has also been observed in the studies with ceric-reducing agent redox

    system..

    The above results of oxidation in the presence of monomer can be

    accounted for the following scheme.

    Kinetics of polymerization

    The polymerization of methyl methacrylate using redox couple Ce

    (IV) - lactic acid was carried out at the temperature 300C and 350C under nitrogen

    atmosphere. The polymerization was found to takes place without an induction

    period, and the steady state rate was attained with in a short time. The rates of

    polymerization and also varied with [LA] (Table16, Fig14),but tend to become

    independent of substrate at high subtrate concentration. The rate of polymerization

    were proportional to [M] being linear passing through the origin (Table14, Fig12)

    furnishing strong, evidence, for the mutual termination of the growing chain. The

    rates were decreased by [H+]showing 0.5 order in [H+](Table15, Fig13).

    The initial rate was increased with increase in monomer concentration at

    fixed [Ce(IV)], [LA]and [H2SO

    4]. It was found that the greater the monomer the

    greater the possibility of initiation by primary radicals.

    All the above data of polymerization can be accounted for by the following

    scheme.

    presence of monomer. The value of Kp and Ktwhich refer to the reactivity of the

    growing radicals (R - M.) towards the monomer and towards themselves

    respectively depend not on nature of the monomer but on the medium and

    temperature.

    Effect of organic substrate

    On increasing the concentration of lactic acid the rate of polymerization

    was increased the plots of versus [LA] were linear and passed through the origin.

    Effect of [H]+

    The increase in concentration of acid leads to a decrease in the rate Rp (obs) at

    constant ionic strength. But Rp (obs) was independent of [H+]. This may be

    attributed to formation of less active Ce(IV) species given by the following

    eqilibrium.

    Ce(IV) + H2SO

    4 ---> CeSO

    4 (III) + H+

    At constant [H2SO

    4], the increase in [H+] will lead to a decrease in the ratio

    Ce[SO4] (III) / Ce(IV). Hence with lower [H+] the reactivity of CeSO

    4(III)

    predominates where as at higher [H+] the effect was reveserd.

    Effect of Ce(IV)

    It was observed that Rp (obs) increase with increasing Ce(IV) concentration. This

    can be explained by an increase number of Ce(IV) in the stern layer of SDS

    micelles due to electrostatic attraction.The plot of Rp (obs) Vs Ce(IV) shows a

    straight line passing through the origin.
