Abstract: | The kinetics of the formation of the purple complex [FeIII(EDTA)O2]3−, between FeIII-EDTA and hydrogen peroxide was studied as a function of pH (8.22-11.44) and temperature (10-40 °C) in aqueous solutions using a stopped-flow method. The reaction was first-order with respect to both reactants. The observed second-order rate constants decrease with an increase in pH and appear to be related to deprotonation of FeIII-EDTA ([Fe(EDTA)H2O]− ⇔ Fe(EDTA)OH]2− + H+). The rate law for the formation of the complex was found to be d[FeIIIEDTAO2]3−/dt=[(k4[H+]/([H+] + K1)][FeIII-EDTA][H2O2], where k4=8.15±0.05×104 M−1 s−1 and pK1=7.3. The steps involved in the formation of [Fe(EDTA)O2]3− are briefly discussed. |
