The thermokinetic mathematical models for consecutive first-order reactions in titration period and the stopped-titration reaction period were proposed for titration calorimetry, based on which, thermodynamic parameters (reaction enthalpies, Δ r H m1 and Δ r H m2 ) and kinetic parameters (rate constants, k 1 and k 2 ) of the consecutive first-order reactions could be obtained by directly simulating the calorimetric curve from a single experiment with the method of nonlinear least squares regression (NLLS). The reliability of the model has been verified by investigating the reaction of the saponification of diethyl succinate in an aqueous ethanol solvent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
