Abstract
The rate of the electron exchange reaction between U(IV) and U(VI) ions was studied at 25° in water and water-acetone mixtures containing 30, 60, and 90 per cent by volume acetone, and at various concentrations of U(IV), U(VI), and hydrochloric acid. The order of the reaction with respect to each of these solutes was found to depend strongly upon the composition of the solvent. A departure in the trend of the rate dependence on hydrogen ion concentration was found for more dilute acid concentrations in sixty volume per cent acetone. Comparisons of the kinetics of the reaction in acetone-water and in ethanol-water are made. Mechanistic and kinetic discussions are included.
