Kinetic Study of first Order Ion Exchange Reaction by the Application of Tracer Technique

Abstract

Analysis of the kinetic study of first order in exchange reaction rate varying from 26 to 48ºC and also at different concentration of potassium iodide solution (0.005 M to 0.1 M) was carried but by the application of a tracer isotope¹³¹ I.The specific reaction rate for the change in temperatrue
as well as the amount of resin was calculated. It was observed that as the
temperature increases, i.e., from 26 to 48ºC at 0.005 M there is an increase
in the specirfic reaction rate, but there is an pronounced increase when the
amount of resin increases from 1g to 5g at 0.005 M at 26ºC. The energy
of activation was also calculated for various temperatures at different
concentrations. It was observed that there is decrease in the energy of
activation as the concentration increases.
