Abstract

The transport of salicylic acid across the water-isopropyl myristate interface has been studied. The kinetic barrier for transfer has been measured as a function of temperature and pH using a rotating diffusion cell. It has been shown that the kinetics are independent of the pH for pH values around the pKa of salicylic acid. From the temperature dependence, thermodynamic parameters have been calculated and a large positive entropy for transfer into the interfacial region is evident.
