The kinetics of ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of atenolol by diperiodatocuprate(III) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of I = 0.10 M has been studied spectrophotometrically at 27°C.

The oxidation of D ‐mannitol by cerium(IV) has been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous sulfuric acid medium at 25°C at constant ionic strength of 1.60 mol dm^?3. A microamount of ruthenium(III) (10^?6 mol dm^?3) is sufficient to enhance the slow reaction between D ‐mannitol and cerium(IV).

Determination of the nature of the diperiodatocuprate(III) species in aqueous alkaline medium through a kinetic and mechanistic study on the oxidation of iodide ion

The nature of the diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) species present in aqueous alkaline medium has been investigated by a kinetic and mechanistic study on the oxidation of iodide by DPC. The reaction kinetics were studied over the 1.0 × 10^–3–0.1 mol dm^–3 alkali range. The reaction order with respect to DPC, as well as iodide, was found to be unity when [DPC] [I^–]. In the 1.0 × 10^–3–1.0 × 10^–2 mol dm^–3 alkali region, the rate decreased with increase in the alkali concentration and a plot of the pseudo-first order rate constant, k versus 1/[OH^–] was linear. Above 5.0 × 10^–2 mol dm^–3, a plot of k versus [OH^–] was also linear with a non-zero intercept. An increase in ionic strength of the reaction mixtures showed no effect on k at low alkali concentrations, whereas at high concentrations an increase in ionic strength leads to an increase in k. A plot of 1/k versus [periodate] was linear with an intercept in both alkali ranges. Iodine was found to accelerate the reaction at the three different alkali concentrations employed. The observed results indicated the following equilibria for DPC.[Cu(H₂IO₆)₂]^3- [Cu(H₂IO₆)]^- + H₂IO₆ ^3- [Cu(H₂IO₆)] + OH^- [Cu(HIO₆)]^- + H₂OA suitable mechanism has been proposed on the basis of these equilibria to account for the kinetic results.     

Kinetic, mechanistic and spectral studies for the oxidation of sulfanilic acid by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III)

The kinetics of oxidation of sulfanilic acid (p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) by hexacyanoferrate(III) in alkaline medium was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction showed first order kinetics in hexacyanoferrate(III) and alkali concentrations and an order of less than unity in sulfanilic acid concentration (SAA). The rate of reaction increases with increase in alkali concentration. Increasing ionic strength increases the rate but the dielectric constant of the medium has no significant effect on the rate of the reaction. A retarding effect was observed by one of the products i.e. hexacyanoferrate(II) (HCF(II)). A mechanism involving the formation of a complex between sulfanilic acid and hexacyanoferrate(III) has been proposed. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism are evaluated. There is a good agreement between the observed and calculated rate constants under different experimental conditions. Investigations at different temperatures allowed the determination of the activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the proposed mechanism.     

A kinetic and mechanistic study of oxidation of arsenic(III) by hexacyanoferrate(III) in aqueous ethanoic acid

The kinetics of oxidation of As^IIIby Fe(CN)₆ ^3– has been studied spectrophotometrically in 60% AcOH–H₂O containing 4.0moldm^–3HCl. The oxidation is made possible by the difference in redox potentials. The reaction is first order each in [Fe(CN)₆ ^3–] and [As^III]. Amongst the initially added products, Fe(CN)₆ ^4– retards the reaction and As^Vdoes not. Increasing the acid concentration at constant chloride concentration accelerates the reaction. At constant acidity increasing chloride concentration increases the reaction rate, which reaches a maximum and then decreases. H₂Fe(CN)₆ ^–, is the active species of Fe(CN)₆ ^3–, while AsCl₅ ^2– in an ascending portion and AsCl₂ ⁺ in a descending portion are considered to be the active species of As^III. A suitable reaction mechanism is proposed and the reaction constants of the different steps involved have been evaluated.
