Abstract

V = k₁[Tartaric acid] [H⁺] + k₂ [Tartaric acid] [H⁺]² + k₃ [Tartaric acid]² both in absence and presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. The rate maximum observed in presence of varying [SDS] has been rationalised by Berezin's model conforming to partition of both the reactants between the aqueous and the micellar phases. The substrate, i.e., dl-tartaric acid appears to be bound by hydrophobic effect to the micellar phase while a hydrophilic binding is responsible for binding of Cr(VI) species.
