Diperiodatoargentate(III) oxidizes nitrilotriacetic acid in a mildly basic medium to produce formaldehyde and ammonia. This reaction follows a complex kinetic behaviour. The axial binding of NTA to silver(III) complex takes place on the millisecond time-scale with a second-order rate constant of (4.

✦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the reaction between nitric acid and formaldehyde have been studied by spectrophotometry. The reaction is autocatalytic. A two-step mechanism is proposed, which accounts for this behavior and describes the effect of reactant concentrations on the characteristics of the kinetic curves: the length of the induction period, t,, the maximum rate, rmax of nitrous acid production and the final product concentration, cp

The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between nitrous acid and bromine are studied in dilute sulfuric acid medium, using both the stopped-flow method and conventional spectrophotometry. The partial reaction order with respect to Br 2 moderately differs from 1, showing a saturation at a higher c
