The kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of trithionate (S3042-) and pentathionate (S5O42-) ions by ferrate ions (FeO42-) were studied under pseudo first-order conditions. Trithionate was studied over the pH range 7.6 to 10.5 with initial concentrations in the range 1 to 12 mM, and pentathionate was studied over the pH range 7.7 to 9.0, with the same initial concentrations. In both cases the products were dithionate and Fe(III). Above a pH of 8.0 the proposed mechanism for trithionate involves reaction between protonated ferrate and trithionate as the rate- determining step with a rate constant of 2.9 M-1s-1. For pentathionate above a pH of 8.4, the proposed rate-determining step involves unprotonated ferrate, with a rate constant of 3.3M-1s-1. At lower pH values both thiosalts show a direct dependence on the hydrogen ion concentration, but increased hydrolysis complicates the interpretation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
