    Abstract: Kinetics of oxidation of L-citrulline (Cit) by permanganate ion in both acidic and basic media has been investigated spectrophtometrically at constant ionic strengths and at 25°C. In both media the reactions exhibited first order dependence in [permanganate] and less than unit order dependences in L-citrulline concentration. A fractional-second ord... Show More

    Abstract: The kinetics of oxidation of cadaverine (CAD) by permanganate ion in acidic, neutral and alkaline media has been investigated spectrophtometrically at constant ionic strengths and temperature. The reactions in different media exhibited a first order kinetics in [MnO4-] and less than unit order dependences with respect to [CAD]. The oxidation of cad... Show More

    Abstract: The rate of the Dakin-West reaction have been investigated in Me2SO, THF and CH3CN at the temperature range (55–70) are reported. First order rate constants were obtained in each case. A Bronsted slope was found to be equal -0.0277 indicates that the transition state is very reactant-like and the proton has barely moved. Further, the solvent effect... Show More

    Abstract: In this study, the adsorption of Acetic acid from an aqueous solution is investigated using activated charcoal prepared from Bitter leaf (Vernoniaamygdalina) that is activated by tap water. Carbonizations at different activation temperature with constant flow of air are used to examine for accepted accessibility of sorbent material. The optimum con... Show More
