Abstract
The kinetics of oxidation of dl-methionine by diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) has been studied spectrophotometrically in a wide range, 0.01–1.0 mol dm −3, of alkali at constant ionic strength of 0.50 mol dm −3. In a lower range, 0.01–0.20 mol dm −3 and in the higher range 0.3–1.0 mol dm −3 of OH − ion concentrations the reaction exhibits first order with respect to DPA concentration. But in the lower and higher range of OH − ion concentration the order with respect to dl-methionine concentration changes from fractional order to zero order. In the lower range of OH − ion concentration the rate is independent of periodate concentration and in the higher range of OH − ion concentration, periodate retarded the rate of the reaction. At constant DPA, dl-methionine, periodate and at constant ionic strength, the order with respect to OH − ion concentration changes from negative fractional (−0.36) to positive fractional (0.44). The increase in dielectric constant of the medium, increases the rate of the reaction in lower and higher range of the OH − ion concentration. The added products did not have any significant effect on the rate of reaction. The main products were identified by spot test and IR spectroscopy. A dual free radical mechanisms have been proposed for both lower and higher range of OH − ion concentrations. The active species of Ag(III) was found to be diperiodatoargentate(III) in lower range of OH − ion concentration and monoperiodatoargentate(III) in higher range of OH − ion concentration. The rate constants of the slow step of the mechanisms were determined. The activation parameters were evaluated and discussed.
