The isokinetic relationship. X. Experimental examples to the relationship between isokinetic temperatures and active heat bath frequencies

Abstract

The relationship between the frequency of an ideal heat bath required at the isokinetic temperature (which is defined by a common point of intersection for Arrhenius lines of a series of homologous reactions) and the available frequencies in a real solvent of a reacting system is examined for a large range of chemical reactions carried out in various solvents. The investigation involves isokinetic relationships based on reactant variation in one solvent and such based on solvent variation without changing the reactants (i.e. isosolvent relationships). The influence of both, reactants and solvents, on the value of the isokinetic temperature is analyzed and discussed.
