Kinetic investigations on the reaction between U(IV) and H202 have been carried out a t different acidities in chloride medium a t an ionic strength of 2M. The observed bimolecular rate constant has been found to be dependant on [H+]-1.3. The activation energy of the overall reaction has been found to vary from 13.4 * 0.7 to 18.0 f 0.8 kcal/mol in the range of acidity from 0.3 to 1.5M. The results have been explained on the basis of three parallel rate-controlling reactions involving unhydrolyzed species of U(IV) and hydrolyzed species UCl(OH)2+ and U02+. The values of the rate constants for these three reaction paths have been found to be of the order of 3.95,5.59 X lo3, and 1.49 X 105M-' min-', respectively.
