The complexation of nickel ion (II) with 8-Hydroxyquinoline were studied in aqueous solution for the pH range from 4.6 to 5.4 and the temperature range from 15/degrees/C to 50/degrees/C. The reactions were found to be first-order for the nickel ion concentration and inverse first-order for the hydrogen ion concentration. The formula of the observed rate constant may be expressed as k/sub obs/ = k/sub +1/K/sub H1/ (N/sub i//sup + +/)/(H/sup +/) + k/sub /minus/1/ where k/sub +1/ and k/sub /minus/1/ represent the forward and the backward step reaction rate constant, and K/sub Hl/ is the equilibrium constant for 8-hydroxyquinoline in aqueous solution. Both k/sub +1/ and k/sub /minus/1/ follow Arrhenius equation behavior and the activation energy is calculated as 8.9 Kcal/g-mole for the forward reaction and 10.63 kCal/g-mole for the backward reaction.
