Abstract
The kinetics of oxidation of mercury(I) with quinoliniumdichromate (QDC) in the presence of micro amounts of palladium(II) catalyst in aqueous sulfuric acid medium has been studied under varying conditions. The active species of oxidant, reductant and catalyst in the reaction medium were understood to be HCrO 4 - , [Hg 2(SO 4)HSO 4] − and PdCl +, respectively. The autocatalysis by one of the products, chromium(III), was observed. A composite scheme and rate law were proposed. Reaction constants involved in the mechanism have been evaluated.
