Spectrophotometric methods were used to investigate the rate of the reaction of Br:! with HCOOH in aqueous, acidic media. The reaction products are Br-and COa. The kinetics of this reaction are complicated by both the formation of Br3-as Bris formed and the dissociation of HCOOH into HCOO-and H+. Pr

We have studied the oxidation of benzyl alcohols by nitrous and nitric acid in sulfuric acid media. The oxidation by nitrous acid is rapid and has an activation energy of 10.6 -t 0.8 kcal mol-'. A Hammett plot of logkp vs. u -is linear with a p value of -1.4. The oxidation by nitric acid in sulfuric
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
## Abstract Ascorbic acid at a concentration of 10^β3^ M was a more effective proβoxidant in the presence of low copper concentrations than at high concentrations, particularly in the initial stages of oxidation or in the lower pH range (5Β·5β4Β·7). This suggested a much more complex role for ascorbi
Manganese-catalysed ozonation of glyoxalic acid in aqueous solutions has been investigated in the pH range 2.0Β±4.0. The addition of manganese ions (Mn(II) or Mn(IV)) to a glyoxalic acidΒ±ozone system allows the substrate to be oxidized through a mechanism different from that reported for uncatalysed
