| Abstract: | The kinetics of the reaction between vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) and ferric chloride hexahydrate was investigated in acidic medium at pH 3 spectrophotometrically. The order of the reaction was established by applying different methods, such as initial rate method, integration method and half-life method. The results obtained from each method were correlated with each other and consistency in all methods was observed. The order of the reaction with respect to each reactant was found first and the overall second order was recommended for the reaction. |
