Please I need guidiance on the above topic.
Singlet oxygen reacts with Furfuryl alcohol in water with a second order rate constant of 1.2 X 10 exp 8 Mol s-1.
In D2O, the lifetime of singlet oxygen is longer than in water. Hence, does this affect the reaction rate constant?
Can I use the same reaction rate constant for the reaction in water for the reaction in D2O?
How does lifetime affect reaction rate constant?
Thank you
