Abstract
This paper describes the second in a series of laboratory experiments demonstrating the effects of micelles on physicochemical properties. The kinetics of the hydrolysis of 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) (DTNB2-) in basic solution are studied by UV spectrophotometry. The reaction is conducted both without and with added cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (C16TAB) to observe the rate enhancement in the presence of micelles. With the conditions specified in the experiment, total reaction times are in the range of 15 seconds to 15 minutes, thus allowing several data sets to be acquired in a single laboratory period.
Supplement
The laboratory procedure and data analysis are explained in detail in the student instructions.
