Abstract: | The interaction of dichromate with D-galacturonic acid in aqueous solution, as a function of pH, is described. The reaction involves the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), but the reaction rate is remarkably dependent on pH. In fact, the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) proceeds rather quickly in strongly acidic solutions, while it is slow in neutral or moderately acidic media. In all cases, according to the ESR evidence, Cr(V) species are found as intermediates. The stability of the Cr(V) species increases with increasing pH, so that it may be suggested that the overall reaction rate is controlled by the Cr(V) to Cr(III) conversion. |
