g the compound a-tocopherol, a form of vitamin e (atlas m3), is a powerful antioxidant that may help to maintain the integrity of biological membranes. the light-induced reaction between duroquinone and the antioxidant in ethanol is bimolecular and



Answer :

According to the given statement The rate constant for the reaction is 3.7×10⁻¹⁰m.

What is a physical reaction?

A physical reaction is an action that alters the material or object's physical properties. Examples of physical properties are mass, size, and density. A physical reaction is defined as a response in which ions rearrange one another without experiencing a chemical change.

Briefing:

Vitamin E is used in this activity.

A study of the interaction between the oxidant in ethanol and photochemically stimulated duroquinone is available.

Duroquinone was photochemically excited, and a bimolecular reaction followed at a diffusion-limited rate.

(a) In this case, we must calculate the rate constant for an ethanol diffusion-limited process.

We have datas for:

R = 8.314K⁻¹η

T =  298Kmol⁻¹

η = 1.06 x 10-3 kg m-1 s⁻¹

K = 8RT/3η

K = 8 × 8.314 ×  298/ 3η

K = 6.23×10⁹dm³mol⁻¹s⁻¹

Here we have to estimate critical reaction distance if the sum of diffusion coefficients is 1×10⁻⁹m²s⁻¹

Firstly we will write equation for kk and from it express and calculate R*

K = 4πR*DNₐ

R* = 2.77×10⁹×10⁻³/4π 1×10⁻⁹×6.23×10²³

R* = 3.7×10⁻¹⁰m.
