The kinetics of the reaction of oxygen with ammonium sulfite in aqueous solution have been studied by the rapid-mixing method of Hartridge and Roughton at 30°C. The rate of oxidation of ammonium sulfite was found to be approximately twice as low as that of sodium sulfite. The experimental findings

✦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the heterogenous oxidation of aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfite with oxygen transferring from the gas phase was investigated. Experimental data in the form of rate of oxygen uptake were obtained by utilizing a stirred cell. Results obtained from the cobalt catalyzed system were analyzed with the theory of absorption with fast chemical reaction. Experimental parameters were: concentration of ammonium sulfite, mole fraction of oxygen in gas phase, catalyst concentration, pH, temperature, ionic strength, and stirring speed. Results show that the reaction mechanism and consequently the order of the intrinsic rate of reaction were dependent on oxygen to sulfite ratio. A mechanism developed for sodium sulfite oxidation was found to describe the experimental results for wide ranges of concentration of the reactants.

The homogeneous reaction rate of oxygen and sodium sultite in aqueous solution was investigated by the rapid-mixing method of HARTRIDGE and ROUGHTON. The method eliminated the need for interphase diffusion of oxygen, and provided unusual latitude in the investigation of copper catalysis. The rate o
## Abstract The kinetics of the permanganate‐sulfite redox reaction has been studied in the alkaline medium using a stopped‐flow technique. In the pH range 10 to 12 the reaction was found to obey the rate expression: −½__d__[MnO~4~^−^]/__dt__ = (__k__~1~ + __k__~2~[OH^−^]) [MnO~4~^−^] [SO~3~^2−^].
