Object:
To find the value of n and k for the given reaction by using integral analysis.
Apparatus:
Batch reactor with and without agitator, glass rod, conductivity meter, standard solution
of NaOH and ethyl acetate, cylinder.
Reaction:
Procedure:
1. Take 100ml standard solution (1 M or 0.1 M) of NaOH and 100ml of ethyl acetate in
separate beakers. Note the conductivity of (0.1 M) NaOH solution by conductivity
meter, it will be CA0 at time t=0.
2. Put 100ml each solution in a batch reactor in the lab simultaneously as the reaction
starts, note the conductivity (ppm,mg/L, mS, μS) by conductivity meter after every 20
sconds and prepare the following table.
3. Plot ln(CA0/CA) vs time for first order kinetics.
4. Plot (1/CA-1/ CA0) vs time with CA0=CB0 or 1/CA vs. time with “1/CA0” as an intercept;
if “CA0” is not known for 2nd order kinetics.
5. Plot ½[1/CA2-1/ CA02] vs. time for third order kinetics. If the above plots in 3,4 and 5
are perfect straight lines with more than (85-90)% of the data falling on this line,
integral analysis is correct, otherwise it fails.
6. For perfect straight line the order (n=1, 2, 3) will be known and from slope of this line
“k” can be found. Remember this method will give integral order only.
