Abstract
Potassium permanganate oxidizes ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to ethylenediamine-N,N',N'-triacetic acid (EDTRI) and CO 2 in acidic (pH 3-5) perchlorate media. The reaction proceeds through an intermediate, the formation of which is first-order in each reactant. The bimolecular rate constant at 25°C is calculated to be 0.23 M −1 s −1 at pH 4.4. The rate constants for the formation of the intermediate initially decrease with decreasing [H + ] and pass through a minimum near pH 4.0
