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: -;d[MnO,J/dt :-]. Mechanisms for the two paths involving the formation of a (03MnOS03)3-complex prior to the rate-determining step are consistent with the data. 0
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
