Algebraic Interpolating Polynomials of Theobromine Using Numerical Techniques

Here applying the known numerical techniques, algebraic interpolating polynomials are derived for Theobromine which is oxidized by potassium permanganate in alkaline medium. The kinetics was measured using uv-visible spectrophotometer. The ionic strength was maintained at 0.05 mol/dm3. For the study, it was observed to be a 1st order reaction with respect to concentration of substrate and oxidant. A complex formed in the intermediate step decomposes slowly to form free radicals. The free radicals which are generated reacts further to form final product which is identified by spot test and spectral studies.
