The kinetics of oxidation of nitrite to nitrate by hypochlorite ions in aqueous basic solution [Formula: see text] have been studied using a dynamic spectrophotometric technique. The rate law is[Formula: see text]At 298.0 K and ionic strength 0.40 M, d = (3.4 ± 0.2) × 10−8 mol l−1 s−1 and e = (2.8 ± 0.2) × 10−6 s−1. The associated activation energies are 56 ± 3 and 61 ± 3 kJ mol−1 respectively. A mechanism is proposed involving the reversible initial step:[Formula: see text]with the NO2Cl undergoing two parallel subsequent reactions, one a unimolecular decomposition and the other an attack by NO2− on NO2Cl.

The kinetics of oxidation of nitrite to nitrate by chlorine in aqueous acid solution (pH 0-1) have been studied using a spectrophotometric stopped flow technique. The rate law is ���������������� -d[Cl2]a/dt =([Cl2][NO2-]/Ka[Cl-]2)(f+g[HNO2]) where [Cl2]a = [Cl2]+[Cl3-] and where Ka is the ionization constant for nitrous acid. At 298.2 K and ionic strength 2.75M, f = 60.8�0.5 mol2 l-2 s-1 and g = (2.35�0.05)x105 mol l-1 s-1: the associated activation energies are 68�3 and 44�2 kJ mol-1 respectively. A mechanism is proposed involving the reversible initial step: �������������������������� NO2-+Cl2 ↔ NO2Cl+Cl- with the NO2Cl undergoing two parallel subsequent reactions, one a unimolecular decomposition and the other an attack by HNO2 upon NO2Cl. ��� Oxidation of nitrite by the three halogens, Cl2, Br2, I2, is discussed.

The kinetics of oxidation of thiocyanate to sulphate by aqueous iodine in the pH range 9.2-12.5 have been studied using a spectrophotometric stopped flow technique. The reaction is general base-catalysed, having the rate law ��������������������� -d[I2]a/dt = ([SCN-][I3-]/[I-]2)Σ kB[B] where [I2]a is the total analytical concentration of iodine, [B] is the concentration of base, and where the summation is taken over all bases present. Rate constants, kB, and activation energies have been measured for the bases, OH-, PO43- and CO32-. ��� A mechanism involving the initial steps ����������������� I2+SCN- ↔ ISCN+I- �����������������(rapid equilibrium) ������������� ISCN+H2O+B → HOSCN+I- + HB+ �����������(rate determining) followed by rapid reactions of HOSCN with itself or with iodine is proposed.

In the presence of vast excess of ferrocyanide, over the pH range 1.76–2.65, the reaction between iodate and ferrocyanide ions follows the rate law[Formula: see text]where ka and kb have values of 1.97 × 103 M−2 min−1 and 4.08 × 105 M−3 min−1, respectively, at an ionic strength of 1.18 M and a temperature of 25.0 ± 0.1 °C. K1 is the formation constant of monoprotonated ferrocyanide. The "overall activation energy" of the reaction was found to be 15.8 kcal/mol. Rate-determining steps consistent with the kinetics have been proposed.

The kinetics of oxidation of arsenic(III) by hexachloroiridate(IV) at lower acid concentrations and at constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 have been investigated spectrophotometrically. A first-order reaction in [IrCl62-] and fractional order with respect to arsenic(III) have been observed. A kinetic evidence for the formation of an intermediate complex between the hydrolyzed arsenic(III) species and the oxidant was presented. The results showed that decreasing the [H+] is accompanied by an appreciable acceleration of the rate of oxidation. The activation parameters have been evaluated and a mechanism consistent with the kinetic results was suggested.

The oxidation of butan-1-ol by ferricyanide ion in alkaline aqueous solution is catalysed by solutions of ruthenium trichloride hydrate. The kinetics of the reaction has been reinvestigated and the data are consistent with the rate law -d[FeIII]/dt = [Ru](2k1k2 [BuOH] [FeIII])/(2k1 [BuOH]+k2 [FeIII]) This rate law is interpreted by a mechanism involving oxidation of butanol by the catalyst (k1) followed by reoxidation of the catalyst by ferricyanide (k2). The non-linear dependence of the rate on the butanol concentration is ascribed to the rate-determining, butanol-independent reoxidation of the catalyst, rather than to the saturation of complex formation between butanol and the catalyst as previously claimed. Absolute values of the rate constants could not be determined, because some of the ruthenium precipitates from basic solution. With K3RuCl6 as the source of a homogeneous catalyst solution, estimates were obtained at 30�0�C of k1 = 191. mol-1 s-1 and k2 = 1�4 × 103 l. mol-1 s-1.

Abstract To study the variation of oxidative strengths of N-chloro-arenesulphonamides with substitution in the benzene ring, six mono- and five di-substituted N-chloro-arenesulphonamides are employed as oxidants for studying the kinetics of oxidation of two neutral amino acids, L-leucine and Lisoleucine in aqueous acid medium. The N-chloro-arenesulphonamides studied are of the constitution: ArSO2NaNCl·H2O (where Ar = C6H5, 4-CH3C6H4, 4-C2H5C6H4, 4-FC6H4, 4-ClC6H4, 4-BrC6H4, 2,3-(CH3)2C6H3, 2,4-(CH3)2C6H3, 2-CH3-4-ClC6H3, 2,4-Cl2C6H3, and 3,4-Cl2C6H3). The reactions show second order kinetics in [oxidant], fractional order in [amino acid] and inverse dependence on [H+]. Addition of the reduced product of the oxidants or variation in ionic strength of the medium has no significant effect on the rates of oxidations. A two-pathway mechanism is considered to explain the experimental results. Effective oxidizing species of the oxidants is Cl+ in different forms. Therefore the oxidising strengths of N-chloro-arenesulphonamides depend on the ease with which Cl+ is released from them. The study reveals that the introduction of substituent in the benzene ring of the oxidant affects both the kinetic and thermodynamic data for the oxidations The electron releasing groups such as CH3 generally inhibit the rates, while electron-withdrawing groups such as Cl enhance this ability, as the electron withdrawing groups ease the release of Cl+ from the reagents and hence increase the oxidising strengths. The on Ea and logA and validity of the Hammett and isokinetic relationships for the oxidations are also analysed.

The kinetics of oxidation of uranium (IV) by iron (III) in aqueous solutions of perchloric acid have been investigated at four temperatures between 3.1 °C. and 24.8 °C. The reaction was followed by measurement of the amount of ferrous ion formed. For the conditions (H+) = 0.1–1.0 M, ionic strength = 1.02, (FeIII) = 10−4–10−5 M, and (UIV) = 10−4–10−5 M, the observed rate law is d(Fe2+)/dt = −2d(UIV)/dt[Formula: see text]K1 and K2 are the first hydrolysis constants for Fe3+ and U4+, respectively, and K′ and K″ are pseudo rate constants. At 24.8 °C., K′ = 2.98 sec.−1, and K″ = 10.6 mole liter−1 sec−1. The corresponding temperature coefficients are ΔH′ = 22.5 kcal./mole and ΔH″ = 24.2 kcal./mole. The kinetics of the process are consistent with a mechanism which involves, as a rate-controlling step, electron transfer between hydrolyzed ions.

The reaction of DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) with N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine, N-phenyl-2-naphthylamine, diphenylamine, and methylaniline has been studied and has been shown to be primarily a hydrogen abstraction process. Two moles DPPH react with 1–1.15 moles secondary amine to give 1.7–1.8 moles 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine and further products.The reaction between DPPH and N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine is first order with respect to each reactant. The reaction of DPPH with the other amines is retarded by the major product 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine and the kinetics of the over-all reaction are complex. However second-order rate constants and activation energies have been obtained using initial rates of reaction. Possible reaction mechanisms are discussed.

The rate constants for the oxidation of reduced cytochrome c by aquacopper(II) ion, aquachloro- copper(II) ion and aquadichlorocopper(II) were found to be 5.7�0.3 1. mol-1 s-1, 2.3×102 1. mol-1 s-1 and 5.6xl031. mol-1 s-1 respectively at 25�C, ionic strength 0.1 and pH 4.0. At low ratios of aquacopper(II) ion to ferrocytochrome c, when oxygen is required to completely oxidize the cytochrome, the reaction mechanism was found to be complex. No evidence for the involvement of copper bound to the cytochrome was found.
