    This document discusses the kinetics of the acid hydrolysis of cobalt complexes. Specifically, it will synthesize the complex trans-[CoCl2(en)2]+ and study its hydrolysis reaction by measuring the time it takes for the solution color to change, to determine the reaction order. It will also study the temperature dependence of the hydrolysis reaction by running it at increasing and decreasing temperatures. The objectives are to synthesize the complex and determine the reaction kinetics by establishing the order of the reaction with respect to the complex concentration.

    One of the most studied group of coordination compounds specially when it comes to reactions

    involving ligand exchanges are the cobalt complexes. This is because their reactions are usually slow
    enough to be studied. In this exercise, the kinetics of the acid hydrolysis of cobalt complexes will be
    investigated.

    Chemical kinetics is the branch of science that deals with the study of chemical processes, their
    rates, rearrangement of atoms, the effect of various variables, the formation of intermediates, etc. It is
    studied to understand the mechanisms and individual mechanistic steps of a reaction. At the macroscopic
    level, the chemical kinetics deals with the study of amount reacted, formed, and the rates of their
    formation while at the microscopic or molecular level, the mechanism of a chemical reaction such as
    atomic collisions and activation energy at different stages during the reaction is studied (Shahzad and
    Sultan, 2017).

    For a chemical reaction,

    aA + bB  cC

    The rate of reaction is given by,


    −1 𝑑[𝐴] −1 𝑑[𝐵] −1 𝑑[𝐶]
    = =
    𝑎 𝑑𝑡 𝑏 𝑑𝑡 𝑐 𝑑𝑡
    And the rate equation is
    𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 𝑘[𝐴]𝑛 [𝐵]𝑚

    where k= rate constant, [A]=concentration of A in Molarity, [B]=concentration of B in Molarity;


    and n and m are the reaction orders.
    In this exercise, [CoCl2(en)2]+ will first be synthesized and its reaction is
    CoCl2·6H2O + 2en + 2HCl + H2O2  trans-[Co(en)2Cl2]Cl(s) + H2O

    Upon its dissolution in water, trans-[Co(en)2Cl2]Cl will hydrolyze to trans-[Co (H2O)(en)2Cl]2+


    trans-[CoCl2(en)2]Cl (green) + H2O → trans-[Co (H2O)(en)2Cl]2+ (pink) + Cl-
    The study of the kinetics of the hydrolysis reaction involves the order of the reaction with respect
    to [CoCl2(en)2]+.
    The rate equations are derived from the rate law. Shown in Table 3.1 are the rate equations for
    the zeroth, first, and second order of reactions.
    Table 3.1 Rate equations for the zeroth, first, and second order of reactions.
    It was previously mentioned that chemical kinetics is studied to understand the mechanisms and
    individual mechanistic steps of a reaction. In this exercise, acid hydrolysis of cobalt complexes involved
    the replacement or substitution of one of the ligands by water. For a substitution reaction, several possible
    mechanisms can occur such as SN1, SN2 or interchange mechanism. In an SN1 substitution, the metal ligand
    complex first dissociates, expelling the outgoing ligand, and later adding a nucleophile to replace the
    ligand. The general mechanism is shown below.
    ML5X  ML5 + X-
    ML5 + Y  ML5Y
    In this type of substitution, the rate of reaction solely depends on the substrate and it is a first order
    reaction.
    In an SN2 reaction, the substrate is attacked by the nucleophile, simultaneously removing one of
    its ligands. The reaction mechanism for this kind of substitution is shown below.
    ML5X + Y  ML5XY
    ML5XY  ML5Y + X-
    The SN2 substitution follows the second order rate equation, where the rate of reaction depends on both
    the concentrations of the substrate and the attacking nucleophile.
    For the last type of substitution, which is the interchange mechanism, there is a concurrent bond
    formation between the metal and entering group, as shown below.
    ML5X + Y  Y---ML5---X  ML5Y + X-
    (transition state)
    In this type of substitution, no intermediate is formed but various transition states are possible.
    The objectives of this exercise are to synthesize trans-[CoCl2(en)2]+ through acid hydrolysis and to
    study the reaction kinetics of trans-[CoCl2(en)2]+ by determining the reaction order through measuring the
    time, tg, that it takes for the green solution to turn gray. The temperature dependence of the hydrolysis
    reaction will also be studied by making runs and monitoring the reaction in increasing temperature mode
    and decreasing temperature mode.
