ABSTRACT:
The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of propyl Hexanote has been studied as a base catalyst under second order
reaction at the temperature range from 20 to 40C.The reaction rate was measured volumetrically over a range of
water-propanol mixed solvent(30-70% v/v).The reaction rate was found to be increased with increasing
temperature at all composition of reaction mixture. Thermodynamic parameter was calculated. The non-linear
increase in free energy with mole% suggests the specific salvation taking place in reaction media. The value of
iso-kinetic temperature is more than 300 which indicates strong solvent-solute interaction in reaction media.
KEYWORDS: Propyl formate, kinetics, propanol, water, solvent effect.
1. INTRODUCTION:
The report of this project is based on kinetic
investigation of hydrolysis of propyl hexanoate in water-
propanol media. propyl hexanoate is common ester
which are used in alcoholic beverage. It is also used as
solvent for polar organic compound.
Solvent effect is a rationalized term which represents the
solvent polarity. It also includes the solvent solute
interaction and dielectric behavior of different solvent. In
mixed solvent system the solvent variation affects
kinetic and electron transfer processes in complex
manner in accordance with physic-chemical properties of
solvent in reaction media. There is number of solvent
polarity parameters like relative permittivity, solvent
ionizing power etc are established to quantified, to study
the influence of solvent on reactivity of initial as well as
transition state.

The objective of this project to make investigation how
thermodynamic parameter of aqueous solvent system
reflect the kinetics parameter on base catalised
hydrolysis of hexanoate ester in water-propanol media.
Many reports [1-6] were published in earlier kinetics,
some succeeded and some failed too.
2. EXPERIMENTAL:
The rate of hydrolysis of propyl hexanoate got observed
volumetrically at five equidistance temperature over
temperature range of 20C to 40C having extraordinary
attention of solvent in response mixture of water-
propanol media. Pure propyl hexanoate (Merck) become
used for kinetic. Double distilled water is used through
and the experiment The strength of answer retaining
0.1M with recognize to answer NaOH and 0.05M with
respect to ester. The detail of manner is mention in my
preceding communiqué [7] the rate steady is calculated
with help of 2nd order kinetic and tabled in Table-1.
With assist of Wynne-Jones and Eyring equation [8] the
values of various activation parameters had been
calculated and inserted in Table-2

3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION:
3.1 Effect of solvent on hydrolysis rate:
The rate constant of hydrolysis of propyl hexanoate in
water-propanol solvent system was calculated using
second order reaction and its value is inserted in Table-1.
It is evident from this Table that specific rate constant
decreases with increasing temperature from 20C to
40C. The factor responsible for increasing rate with
temperature is due to dielectric effect and partly due to
salvation in the reaction media. This outcome is good
agreement with Hughes and Ingold [9] and recent
publication of Bano Arjuman and Singh AK [10]

3.2 Calculated values of Iso-composition Activation
Energy (Ec):
The Iso-composition Activation Energy of the reaction
mixture is increases from 66.00 to 63.27KJ/Mole with
increasing composition of solvent indicate desolvation
and solvation in transition state and in initial state which
support the recent communication of Singh A K [11]
3.3 Calculated values of Iso- Dielectric Activation
Energy (ED):
With help of Arrhenius plot the Iso- Dielectric
Activation Energy (ED) was calculated which shows
decreasing trend66.00 to 58.00 KJ/mole with increasing
D of reaction mixture. This is also supported by past
view of Wolford [12] and recently by Singh AK.et al.
[13]
3.4 Rate and thermodynamic activation Parameters
of reaction:
Activation parameter, plays an important role in ester
hydrolysis. The enthalpy of activation (ΔH*) free energy
of activation (ΔG*) and entropy of activation(ΔS*) is
determined using Wynne-jones and Eyring equation.
[14], and the result is inserted in Table-2 with increasing
mole% of solvent. Although, the variation of (ΔG*) with
mole % is negligible in comparison with the enthalpy of
activation (ΔH*) and entropy of activation (ΔS*) with
increasing composition of reaction mixture but it cannot
ignore. The enthalpy of activation (ΔH*) increases with
increasing mole fraction of reaction mixture (ΔS*)
become more negative which indicates that there is polar
transition state is preferentially solvated by water
molecule. The plots of (ΔG*) against mole % of propanol
shown in fig-1 at 25C is found to be increasing non-
linearly with increasing concentration of of propanol is
indicative of desolvation of reactants as explained by
Elsemongy et al. [15] Significantly large change in
(ΔH*) and (ΔS*) with negligible change in (ΔG*) with
varying solvent composition can normally be attributed
enthalpy domination and entropy control. This is also
supported by recent communication of Singh AK [16].

3.5 Iso-kinetic Temperature Solvent-Solute
Interaction:
The Iso kinetic temperature is which is calculated by
plotting ΔH* against ΔS* [fig-4] straight line slope values
are found to be more than 300(365) conclude that the
there is strong solvent solute interaction in reaction
media. The above conclusion is also supported by Lefler
[17], previously supported by Singh AK [18].
Fig. 4: Variation of ∆H* with ∆S* at 25°C (water-propanol) system
4. CONCLUSION:
By comparing the result of above project hydrolysis of
propyl hexanoate in water-propanol media, following
conclusion are found as:
The specific rate constant decreases with increasing
solvent composition. The values of Iso-composition
activation energy (ED) increases with increasing mole%
of reaction mixture. The enthalpy of activation (ΔH*)
increases with increasing mole fraction of reaction
mixture (ΔS*) become more negative which indicate
enthalpy entropy compensation effect in reaction media.
Greater the values of iso kinetic temperature are more
than 300 shows strong interaction between solute and
solvent in reaction mixture.

The base catalised hydrolysis of buyl salicylate has been carred out in water-DMF binary solvent mixture covering range of 30 to 70% (v/v) of solvent composition at different Temperature (20 to 400 C). The reaction followed second order rate constant which decreases with increase of solvent composition. The salvation and desolvation concept are used to explain the solvent influence on rate and mechanism is the reaction. The relation between changes in dielectric constant due to variation of reaction mixture and change in specific rate constant has been explained on the basis of electrostatic and non-electrostatic contribution of solvent mixture. Calculated value of Iso-composition activation energy is found to be increases with increase of solvent composition. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG*, ΔH* & ΔS*) has been determined with help of Wynne Jone and Eyring equation which show the great dependency on solvent composition.
... On the basis of above relation, enhancement in (ΔH*) is only possible when its value is more than ΔS* and hence the reaction is entropy dominating. This observation is also found by many previous reports [17,18]. ...
... From the slope of straight line of the plots, the value of iso-kinetic temperature was evaluated to be 253.84K/Mole 2. (less than300). Thus, in the light of Lefler [25] guiding communication, it can be concluded that there may be no appreciable exchange in structure of reactant or in the solvent or in each the reactant or in solvent or both the reactant and solvent due to weak interaction between solvent and solute present in reaction media in similar ways as reported by Singh AK [26] ...

The effect of different composition of a water-Ehtylene glycol solvent on kinetics of amyl methanoate formate was studied at different temperature ranging from20 to 400c.The rate constant decreased with increase of water fraction in the solvent from 20 to 80%.The considerably change was found in activation parameters enthalpy of activation (H*) and entropy of activation (S*) and free energy of activation free energy of activation (G*) with increasing mole%, which indicates that there is specific salvation taking place with change of solvent composition. The iso kinetic temperature was found to be 253.84K/Mole2 which is less than 300, indicates weak solvent solute interaction in the reaction media

The acid catalyzed hydrolysis of butyl formate in presence of 0.1N-HCI in water and the presence of water-DMSO mixture containing up to 30-70% (v/v) was studied over the temperature ranging from 20-400C. The rate of reaction decreases with decrease of water content of the solvent mixture and reached minima at about 70% of organic solvent. The number of water molecule associated with activated complex was showing decrease in trend with increase of temperature, is an indication of change in mechanism from unimolecular to bimolecular in reaction media. The parameters of thermodynamic activation were also calculated and discussed in terms of solvent effect with help of plots of ΔH* versus ΔS*, the isokinetic temperature was calculated and found to be greater than 300.

Kinetic study of acid catalyzed hydrolysis of propyl formate has been carried out volumetrically in water-propanol binary solvent system having different concentration of the organic component from 30 to 70% (v/v) of propanol-2 at different temperature ranging from 20 to 40 0 C. Specific rate constant values calculated by first order were found to be decreasing with increasing proportion of propanol at all temperatures. Enhancement in iso-composition activation energy(E C) with increasing concentration of propanol-2 and depletion of dielectric activation energy(E D) with depletion of dielectric constant of reaction media inferred that initial state is solvated and Transition state is desolvated. The thermodynamic parameters like Enthalpy of activation (H *), Entropy of activation (S *) and Free energy of activation (G *) were evaluated with help of Wynne-Jones and Eyring equation and its none linear plots with mole% of propanol is indicative of specific solvation taking place in reaction media. The isokinetic temperature was calculated by linear plots of H * verses S * and its value turned out to be more than 300(621.29K/Mole 2), it shows that there is strong interaction that takes place between solvent and solute molecule.

Kinetic study of hydroxide anion catalyzed hydrolysis of ethyl acrylate has been carried in etha� nol–water (10–50% v/v) binary systems at the temperature range 30 ± 0.1, 35 ± 0.1, 40 ± 0.1 and 45 ± 0.1°C. Calculated specific rate constant values decreases with increasing proportion of ethanol at all temperatures. The observed retardation of a base catalyzed hydrolysis reaction is explained on the basis of fact that the for� mation of polarized transition state is disfavored with increase in % of ethanol. The relation between the change in dielectric constant due to variation in binary mixtures and change in specific rate constant are explained on the basis of electrostatic and non electrostatic contributions of solvent mixtures. The variation of ΔG*, ΔH*, ΔS* with solvent composition and the specific effect of water on the reaction rate kinetics are also discussed.

The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of 2-chloroquinoxaline (QCl) with hydroxide ion was investigated spectrophotometrically at different percentages of aqueous–organic solvent mixtures with acetonitrile (10–60% v/v) and with dimethylesulphoxide (10–80%) over the temperature range from 25 to 45 °C. The reaction was performed under pseudo first order conditions with respect to 2-chloroquinoxaline (QCl). An increase in the percentage of organic solvent (v/v) has different effects on the reaction rate constants, presumably due to hydrogen bond donor and acceptor differences of the media and other solvatochromic parameters. The data were discussed in terms of the Kamelt-Taft parameter and E T(30). A nonlinear relation between the logarithm of the rate constant and reciprocal of the dielectric constant suggests the presence of selective solvation by the polar water molecules. Activation parameters ΔH #, ΔS # and ΔG # were determined and discussed.

The theory of absolute reaction rates is developed for condensed phases. The equation for the rate of a reaction of any order in any phase where the slow process is the passage over an energy barrier consists of the product of a transmission coefficient κ, a frequency kT/h, an equilibrium constant between an activated complex and the reactants and an activity coefficient factor. Previous theories of reaction rates such as Brönsted's, the collision theory of Mc C. Lewis, etc., are seen to be special cases of the general theory. A variety of examples are considered.

Rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetal in binary solvent mixtures composed of dimethyl sulfoxide and water have been determined as a function of solvent composition and temperature. The rate decreases as the dimethyl sulfoxide content increases. The pK value of m-nitroaniline and the acidity function pw(aHγCl) were determined in the same solvents, and these measures of acidity were compared with the kinetic results. The reaction rate as a function of solvent composition is discussed in terms of changes in the internal structure of the solvent. Specific solute-solvent interactions apparently play a very important role in determining the kinetic and the equilibrium behavior. The isocomposition activation energy passes through a minimum in solvents of high water content where the temperature coefficient of the dielectric constant passes through a maximum. Acetal hydrolysis rates are compared for various water-organic solvent mixtures, and it is concluded that the basicity is the solvent property which is most important in determining the rate of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis.
