Abstract
Thallium(III) and Arsenic(III) react in aqueous perchloric acid solution to give TlI and AsV. The kinetics were followed by determining TlIIIiodometrically under critical conditions. The empirical rate law is: –d[TlIII]//dd =k3′[TlIII][AsIII]//[H+] (a)k3′ was found to be 88·5 ± 5·7 min–1 at 35 ± 0·1 °C. The energy and entropy of activation were found to be 21·5 ± 1 kcal and –15·5 ± 3 cal mol–1deg–1 respectively. The reactive species are TlOH2+ and HAsO2. The rate decreases with increasing ionic strength and with decreasing dielectric constant. Chloride ions strongly inhibit the reaction.
