Oxidation Of Ethanolamine By Potassium Permanganate In The Presence And Absence Of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate: A Kinetic Study In An Acidic Medium, Dayo Latona

Makara Journal of Science

The kinetics of ethanolamine oxidation by acidified KMnO₄ was investigated in the absence and presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was investigated using a pseudo-first-order kinetics approach, with [ethanolamine]_o >> [KMnO₄]_o. The measurements were conducted at λ_max = 525 nm using an ultraviolet/visible-1800 Shimadzu spectrophotometer. The stoichiometry showed that 2 moles of KMnO₄ were consumed by 5 moles of ethanolamine in the aqueous medium. The reaction orders in both the aqueous and micellar media remained the same with a first-order dependence on [KMnO₄] and [ethanolamine] and a fractional-order dependence on [H …
