Abstract
The present study deals with the radiolysis of tetracycline hydrochloride dissolved in aerated alkaline aqueous solutions containing 0.1, 0.5 and 1M NaOH, at 77 K, as followed by ESR. The rate constants for the reactions between the electron and physical and chemical traps which are present in these solutions are calculated. These values are kph= =9.6·1015 l·mol−1·s−1 and kch=1.3·1010 l·mol−1·s−1. The reactivity of electrons that are formed in the radiolysis of water decreases in the following proportions: physical traps: chemical traps: molecules of water: 4.8·1014: 6.5·108: 1.0. The electrons react preferentially with the solute instead of the solvent.
