Notes:
The kinetics of the reaction between BrO3- and sulfite was studied by measuring the concentrations of [Br-] and [H+] both in buffered and in unbuffered solutions. A mechanism was applied for simulation of the experimental observations. Rate constants k1=(0.027±0.004) M-1s-1 and k2=(85±5) M-1s-1 were determined for the following reactions:\halign{\hfill $#$\hfill &\hfill\qquad\qquad #\cr 3\ \rm HSO_{3}\!^{-}+BrO_{3}\!^{-}\longrightarrow 3\ SO_{4}\!^{2-}+Br^{-}+3\ H^{+}& (1)\cr 3\ \rm H_{2}SO_{3}(\hbox{or}\ SO_{2.}\hbox{aq})+BrO_{3}\!^{-}\longrightarrow 3\ SO_{4}\!^{2-}+Br^{-}+6\ H^{+}& (2)\cr }Rate constant k1 was obtained directly from the experimental results on unbuffered reactions, where Reaction (1) was predominant. Rate constant k2 was obtained by computer fitting of [Br-] to the experimental values for buffered reactions, where the rate of Reaction (2) was about four times higher than that of Reaction (1). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
