Abstract

AbstractThe kinetics of chromic acid oxidation of glyoxal is reported. The reaction is first‐order in glyoxal and indicates a gradual change from a first‐order to a zero‐order dependence on acidity. The kinetic nature of this reaction has been studied and the rate law is consistent with a proposed mechanism as follows; rate = kKb, K[Cr+6][Gx][H+]/(l+0.238[H+]) at 25°C. The product analysis indicates that formic acid is the oxidation product under similar kinetic condition.
