A Solid State Kinetic Study Of Potassium Permanganate In Alkali Halide Disks, Joseph Paul Cusumano
Theses
The stoichiometry and the kinetics of the reactions of KMnO4 in KCl and KIO4 in KCl were studied. The kinetics of the reactions were studied at three different temperatures to obtain the thermodynamic parameters. In addition, these reactions were studied in KBr and RbI matrices. The data was obtained using infrared spectrophotometer measurements.
The reactions all appeared to be first order with respect to the permanganate ion. The stoichiometric studies indicate that the Mn4- is converted to Mn++ and the Mn++ ion apparently catalyzes the reduction of KI4. The results indicate the …
