The pertechnetate ion oxidizes ascorbic acid in strong acid medium to form red species. A reaction mechanism has been developed which correctly predicts all the experimental facts. The results obtained support the postulate according to which the red species corresponds to a complex formed between T

β¦ Synopsis
The reaction between chromium(V1) and L-ascorbic acid has been studied by spectrophotometry in the presence of aqueous citrate buffers in the pH range 5.69-7.21. The reaction is slowed down by an increase of the ionic strength. At constant ionic strength, manganese(I1) ion does not exert any appreciable inhibition effect on the reaction rate. The rate law found is
where K , is the equilibrium constant for protonation of chromate ion and k, is the rate constant for the redox reaction between the active forms of the oxidant (hydrogenchromate ion) and the reductant (L-hydrogenascorbate ion). The activation parameters associated with rate constant k , are E, = 20.4 t 0.9 kJ mol-', AH' = 17.9 2 0.9 kJ mol-', and AS' = -152 2 3 J K-' moll . The reaction thermodynamic magnitudes associated with equilibrium constant K , are AHo = 16.5 2 1.1 kJ mol-' and ASo = 167 2 4 J K-' mol-'. A mechanism in accordance with the experimental data is proposed for the reaction.

## Abstract The oxidation kinetics of ethanol with 3,4βlutindine chromium(VI) peroxide (LCP) were investigated by monitoring the absorbance change at 565 nm in dichloromethane solution. The reaction had a firstβorder dependence on oxidant and a fractional (one half) dependence on reactant. The stoi
The kinetics of permanganate oxidation of L-phenylalanine in acid medium at a constant ionic strength has been investigated spectrophotometrically. An autocatalytic reaction was observed being autocatalyzed by a soluble form of Mn(1V). The reaction appears to involve a parallel consecutive reaction
## Abstract The reduction of Fe(CN)~5~L^2β^ (L = pyridine, isonicotinamide, 4,4β²βbipyridine) complexes by ascorbic acid has been subjected to a detailed kinetic study in the range of pH 1β7.5. The rate law of the reaction is interpreted as a rate determining reaction between Fe(III) complexes and t
