The kinetics of absorption of oxygen in aqueous solutions of sodium dithionite was studied in a jet apparatus. The reaction was found to be first order with respect to dithionite for dithionite concentration below 0.08 g mole/l. and second order with respect. to dithionite concentration above 0.08 g

✦ Synopsis
The absorption rate of oxygen in alkaline sodium dithionite solutions, in a stirred tank with a flat interfacial surface, has been studied experimentally. Under the conditions studied (12.0 < pH Q 13.7, 2045"C, partial oxygen pressure 0.20 at 1 atm and a dithionite concentration of O.OOWIk20 M), absorption occurs by means of a fast reaction of zero order in oxygen and 1.5 order in dithionite. A chain mechanism of free radicals is proposed to explain these results and the apparent kinetic constant is adjusted to the following equation as a function of temperature: k = 3.22 x 10s exp (-Y), . mol-cJ.5 m1.5 s-1
