Abstract

Use of the pulse radiolytic technique for studying acid-base and complex formation reactions in aqueous solutions is described. The method is based on the conversion of the hydrated electron e − aq to the anion of a strong acid, thereby obtaining a fast pH-jump. Rate constants are calculated from relaxation times measured with either spectrophotometric or conductometric detection systems. The technique has been validated with previously studied chemical systems. Rate constants for the complex formation between La 3+ and Gd 3+ with Methyl Red indicator have also been determined.
