Services for Research into the Reactivity of Mustard in Mixed Solvent

Abstract

SRI has carefully measured the rate of hydrolysis of mustard in mixed EtOH water over a range of mole fractions from X = 0.025 to X = 0.075 and a temperature range of 11 C to 45 C. The rate constants at 25 C and X = 0.025 are K sub 1 = 00170/sec and K sub 2 = .0067/sec. The activation parameters, which are calculated from the temperature dependence of the rate constant at X = 0.025 using the Arrhenius expression, are Ea K sub 1 = 22.59 Kcal/mol, 1nA = 31.91 for K sub 1 and Ea K sub 2 = 17.90 Kcal/mol, 1nA = 15.49 for K sub 2. Originator supplied keywords include: bis-(2-chloroethyl)sulfide, kinetic consecutive first-order reactions.
