This work deals with the effect of oxygen on basic parameters of the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction in the presence of Ce4+/Ce3+ redox catalyst and malonic acid, citric acid, or 2,4-pentanedione as substrates. Oxygen lowers the duration of the induction period and the first oscillation period as well as the corresponding activation parameters. Oxygen lowers also rate constants and activation parameters for oxidation of malonic and citric acids with Ce4+ ions. It is concluded that the effect of oxygen on the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction consists mainly in its catalytic influence on the oxidation of the substrate with Ce4+ ions.

Glycerol causes chemical oscillations in Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction in a closed system as well as in a reaction solution bubbled with nitrogen. Since the oxidation of glycerol with bromate ions does not proceed autocatalytically and bromine in the oxidation state 0 or +1 in the absence of light does not react with glycerol, hydrolysis of bromine is the probable source of bromide ions in the studied oscillation system.
