Significance of organic co-solvent Ethylene Glycol on Thermodynamic Parameters of hydrolysis of Benzyl Methanoate Catalysed by an acid

Author Name : Rameshwar Dubey

ABSTRACT

The study of organic hydrolysis of Benzyl methanoate was carried out in water E_G (Ethylene Glycol) media in which the composition of the organic co-solvent was varying concentration from 30% to 80% (v/v) ranging from 293K to 313K. And it gives an idea about acidic hydrolysis of Benzyl methanoate ester with the help of enthalpy of activation H*, entropy of activation  S* and Gibbs free energy of activation G*.

The cause for decline in the values of Specific rate constants, the small increase in G* Values and regular decrease in the values of H* and S* have been mentioned below.
