Reaction Rates in Binary Mixed Solvents. II

In order to study the effects of solvents on reaction rates, the theoretical expression for the rate constant has been introduced using Henry’s constant. The Henry constant of the solute in a chemically-reacting mixture has been calculated thermodynamically. The theoretical expressions for the rate constants in mixed solvents have been derived on the basis of the molecular models; the application of these equations showed that one model accurately illustrates the behavior of the reaction rates in solvent mixtures.
