Abstract
In the present research, the reaction kinetics of Potassium Ferrate (VI) with gabapentin were studied by using spectrophotometer. The reaction was determined under alkaline condition at the different temperatures of 288.2K-308.2K. All data was obtained from the pseudo-first order reaction. It was found that the reaction is a first-order for reactant. The observed rates constants (k
obs) increased with increasing [reductant], however, increasing [OH
-], the k
obs decreased. The reaction is negative fraction order with respect to [OH
-]. The reasonable mechanism has been suggested to explain the experimental data. The rate constants of the rate-determining step and the thermodynamic activation parameters at 298.2K were calculated.
