ABSTRACT
The kinetics of the Isopropyl alcohol inhibited Cu(II) catalysed autoxidation of S(IV) in phosphate buffer medium has been studied and based on the observed results, the following rate has been proposed. Rate constants and the order of reaction were calculated and the reaction was found to be pseudo-first order in all cases. The effects of pH and temperature are also studied. The value of apparent activation (Ea) energy was calculated graphically by Arrhenius equation. Based on the inhibition parameter, the reaction follows a free radical mechanism.
-d[S(lV)]/dt = (k1+ k2[CuII]) [S(lV)]/(1 + B [Isopropyl alcohol])
