Oxidation kinetics of trans-aqua-bis(ethylenediamine)-isothiocyanatocobalt(III) ion with peroxodisulphate

Abstract

Oxidation kinetics of trans-aqua-bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion with peroxodisulphate have been investigated in 0.01M-HClO4 medium within the ionic strength and temperature intervals 0.0411 to 0.4415M and 315.5 to 336.9 K, respectively. From the temperature dependence of the rate constants extrapolated to zero ionic strength the extrapolated values of thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated. The data obtained by investigation of the primary salt effect have been confronted with relations valid for ionic reactions.
