Abstract
1. Using the temperature-jump method, the authors have investigated chemical relaxation in aqueous bromide solutions containing chloride and bromide ions. 2. The reaction of BrCl with a water molecule is far more rapid than the analogous reaction between bromine and water molecules. 3. The rate constant of the reaction Br2OH- + H+ ⇌ Br2 + H2O is close to the diffusion limit of the rate constant of a bimolecular reaction in a solution. 4. The rate constant of the reaction BrClOH- +H+ ⇌ BrCl + H2O is much lower than the values of the diffusion limit, indicating the presence of a small free-energy barrier in this proton transfer process.
