Kinetics and Oxidation of an Organic substrate with Quinolinium Fluorochromate

Abstract

Chemical kinetics deals with the study of factors that affect the rate of the reaction and also the mechanism of the reaction, in the field of chemistry. In our environment chromium occurs in different valence states chromium (Cr III) and chromium Cr (VI). Exposure to hexa valent chromium is more toxic compared to trivalent chromium. It mainly affects the respiratory tract. The Oxidation reaction between Quinolinium Fluorochromate and cyclohexanol has been studied. The medium used for this reaction is acetonitrile and nitrobene in the ratio of 1:1 and 5:5. The product of oxidation is the formation of cyclohexanone. on the basis of the experimental data, an appropriate kinetics has been proposed.
