The Effect Of Temperature, Catalysis, And Dielectric Constant In The Kinetics Of The Oxidation-reduction Reactions Of [n-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)ethylenediamine-n’,n’,n’,-triacetato Cobalt (11)] B

The effects of temperature, dielectric constant and catalysis in the kinetics of the oxidation –reduction reactions (involving electron transfer) of N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl) ethylenediammine- N’,N’,N’-Triacetatocobalt (II) by Cu2+ cation were determined.  The dielectric constant was decreased from 63.05 to 43.18 and it was found that the rates of the reaction did not show any appreciable change. This seems to mean that the change in the dielectric constant of the medium had no effect on the rates of reaction in this [CoIIHEDTAH2O]- and Cu2+ systems. At constant concentration of all the reactants, t…
