Electrochemical Kinetic Study of Zatropha Curcas Medicinal Plants

Abstract

The kinetic study of three varieties of Zatropha Curcas medicinal plants have been carried out with electrode pair Ag-Zn in three different seasons by measuring their bio-electrode potential through redox process. The reaction velocity follow firstorder kinetics but at higher span of time, becomes asymptotic to x-axis, showing zero-order of reaction. The complicated mechanism was observed due to the occurrence of oscillatory reactions in the system. The charge transfer enhance the activity of the system. Various thermodynamic properties were evaluated to explain the proposed mechanism in consistent with the derived rate law.
