Phenol Sodium Sodium hydroxide

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the kinetic rate constant and reaction enthalpy for the reaction between phenol and sodium hydroxide. The original poster seeks specific values for these parameters and has already searched through various scientific resources without success. A response suggests that the deprotonation of phenol by sodium hydroxide occurs rapidly, limited primarily by diffusion rates. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding precise kinetic data for this specific reaction.

Question -- phenol and sodium hydroxide

Hallo,

I am searching the kinetic rate constant and the reaction enthalpy for reaction between phenol and sodium hydroxide.

Does sbdy has those two values or knows where to find them?

I tried google science directc etc...

Thanks

Wow. How fast does a strong base deprotonate a weak acid? About as fast as diffusion will allow is my guess.

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
