  • 1. Malaviya Regional Engineering Coll., Jaipur (India). Dept. of Chemistry

Description

The polarographic reduction of UO22+ and Th4+ ions in methyl-3-mercaptopropionate has been found to be irreversible and diffusion controlled in 0.1 M NaClO4, 0.002% Triton X-100 and 25% ethanol. The values of kinetic parameters-transfer coefficient (αn), formal rate constant (ksub(f,h)deg) for the electrode reaction are determined by Koutecky's method as extended by Meites and Israel. The free energy, enthalpy and entropy of activation have also been reported. (author)
