Abstract

The oxidation of methylamine by permanganate ion in aqueous phosphate buffers is autocatalyzed by a soluble form of colloidal manganese dioxide temporarily stabilized in solution by adsorption of phosphate ions on its surface. The dependence of the rate constants of both the noncatalytic and catalytic mechanisms on the concentrations of both methylammonium and hydroxyl ions and on temperature has been determined. The activation parameters have been obtained. Mechanisms in agreement with the experimental data are proposed.
