Kinetic Study of the Reaction between Ammonia and Chlorine

Abstract

Kinetic studies of the reaction between Ammonia and Chlorine were carried out and it was found to be of second order. The reaction was studied at 20 ± 0.1 °C and below pH value of 5. Above this pH the reaction being very fast could not be measured. The Δe (energy of activation) and AS (entropy of activation) values of this reaction were found to be 32.66 Kcal/mole and 10.23 cal/deg.mole respectively. The reactive species appears to be hypochlorite in this reaction. © 1972, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
