Abstract: | Predictions of the “redox” and “complex” schemes for the Fe3+ catalyzed decomposition of H2O2 have been compared with published and new experimental data by numerical integratior of the appropriate complete sets of differential equations. Apparent discrepancies for the redox scheme at high Fe3+/H2O2 ratios are shown to disappear in the complete treatment, and inconsistencies of the complex scheme with both kinetic data and spectroscopic measurements are pointed out. |
