Abstract:
The reaction kinetics of
N,N-dimethylhydroxylammonium ion(DMHAN) with nitrous acid were studied by spectrophotometerly in 0.1-0.4 mol/L nitric acid media. Influences of temperature, ion strength, nitric acid concentration, nitrous acid concentration and DMHAN concentration were investigated. The reaction rate equation is obtained as:
-d
c(HNO
2)/d
t=
kc1.26(HNO
2)
c0.85(DMHAN)
c0.45(H
+)
The reaction rate constant and the reaction activation energy are 3.09 (mol/L)
-1.56•s
-1 and 55.1 kJ/mol at 20 ℃,
μ=0.50 mol/L, respectively. The stoichiometric ratio of nitrous acid to DMHAN is observed by 2.5∶1.
