ABSTRACT: Aqueous solution of water soluble colloidal MnO2 was prepared by Perez-Benito method. Kinetics of l-methionine oxidation by colloidal MnO2 in perchloric acid (0.93 × 10−4 to 3.72 × 10−4mol dm−3) has been studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction follows first-order kinetics with respect to [H+]. The first-order kinetics with respect to l-methionine at low concentration shifts to zero order at higher concentration. The effects of [Mn(II)] and [F−] on the reaction rate were also determined. Manganese (II) has sigmoidal effect on the rate reaction and act as auto catalyst.
The exact dependence on [Mn(II)] cannot be explained due to its oxidation by colloidal MnO2. Methionine sulfoxide was formed as the oxidation product of l-methionine. Ammonia and carbon dioxide have not been identified as the reaction products. The mechanism with the observed
kinetics has been proposed and discussed.

ABSTRACT: Diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) was used as an oxidizing titrant in the spectrophotometric degradation of D-galactose for the first time. The kinetics is based on the reduction of silver(III) to silver(I) by D-galactose at specified experimental conditions. Effects of added [H+] and [periodate] have also been investigated. The premicellar environment of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodiumdodecyl sulphate (SDS) strongly inhibits the reaction rate. The observed rate constant is strongly affected by [CTAB] and [SDS] changes for [surfactant] <cmc. Surfactant concentration range above the cmc does not influence the reaction rate. The monoperiodatoargentate(III) ions act as an active oxidant in comparison to that of DPA. A suitable mechanism involving a two-electron transfer from D-galactose to the silver(III) species has been proposed and hence a corresponding rate equation has been derived.

ABSTRACT: The oxidative behavior of d-dextrose toward diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) has been studied in the absence and presence of anionic and cationic micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), respectively. The kinetics is based on the reduction of silver(III) to silver(I) by d-dextrose under pseudo-first-order conditions. The monoperiodatoargentate(III) ions act as active oxidants in comparison to that of DPA. The reactions are first- and fractional-order dependence with respect to [DPA] and [d-dextrose], respectively. The reaction rates decrease with [H+] and [periodate]. The premicellar environment of SDS and CTAB strongly inhibits the reaction rate. Inhibition is due to favorable thermodynamic/electrostatic binding between the Ag(III) complex and CTAB monomer aggregates. A suitable mechanism involving a one-electron transfer (rate-determining step) from d-dextrose to the silver(III) species has been proposed. Activation parameters have been evaluated and discussed.
