The kinetics of the silver(II)-thallium(I) reaction in nitric acid

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ic50040a007

Kinetic data for the Ag(II)-Tl(I) reaction in 6.18 F HNO₃ at 26.2° are interpreted in terms of the mechanism (Chemical Equation Presented) Values for combinations of rate constants found from a least-square treatment of the data are k₁ = 0.403, k₂/(k₁k₃) = 2.03 × 10^-2, and k₂k₄/(k₁k₃k₅) = 1.41 × 10^-6 where time is in seconds, concentrations are in moles/liter, and rate is expressed as disappearance of Ag(II). These values are consistent with equilibrium and rate constants for related reactions. Unlike other reactions with Ag(II), the oxidation of Tl(I) is independent of HNO₃ concentration over the range 4.66 to 8.82 F.
