Abstract
CrVIO4]2- is reduced to CrV(O2)4]3- by hydrogen peroxide in strongly basic media where the acid dissociation of H2O2 (pKa = 11.65) is appreciable. The reaction is first order in chromium(VI) and inhibited by hydroxide. The hydrogen peroxide dependence is defined by the form of the effective pseudo-first-order rate constant:? keff = H2O2]3/(K1 + K2H2O2] + K3HO2-]) with K1 = 175(43) s·M3, K2 = 403(18) s·M2, and K3 = 1422(34) s·M2. Hydrogen peroxide anion initially attacks chromate, and subsequent equilibrium steps that exchange oxo groups for three peroxo groups precede a rate-determining, one-electron, intramolecular reduction step.
