| Abstract: | The kinetics of the CrO(O2)2 formation by H2O2 and Cr2O7
2− in aqueous acidic media was measured at 293 ± 2 K in a pH range between 2.5 and 3.3. Using the stopped-flow method with rapid scan UV-VIS detection, the rate law of the formation
of CrO(O2)2 was determined. For the media HClO4, HNO3 and CH3COOH, the reaction order in the Cr2O7
2− concentration was found to be 0.5. For H2O2] as well as for H+], the reaction was first order in all acids used. In HCl and H2SO4 media the reaction was first order in Cr2O7
2−. At T = 293 ± 2 K the rate constant for the formation of Cr(O)(O2)2 was found to be (7.3 ± 1.9) · 102 M−3/2 s−1 in HClO4. |
