6.3.6 Activation Parameters<br />

The activation parameters were determined through systematic variation <strong>of</strong><br />

temperature within the range 15-35 °C, at 5 °C interval. The Eyring plots depicted in<br />

Figure 6.7 and 6.8 (also Figures S6.3-S6.4 and S6.11-S6.12, Appendix 6) resulted in the<br />

activation parameters: activation enthalpy, ΔH ≠ (1 st /2 nd ) from the slopes, and activation<br />

entropy, ΔS ≠ (1 st /2 nd ) from the intercept. The values obtained are tabulated in Tables 6.3<br />

and 6.4.<br />
