The effect of solvent on the rate constant of the reaction of nitrite ion with o-quinone has been investigated by means of voltammetry and voltammogram digital simulation methods. The experimental results have been compared with theoretical calculations; the latter results are in good agreement with experimental data and confirm that the dielectric constant of the solvent is the most influential factor on the rate of reaction.
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.
