The distribution of bromine between bromoorganics and bromide was followed in Ag(1+)-perturbed Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) systems and the rate of the Br(1-) removing reaction (Ag(1+) + Br(1-) --> AgBr) was measured.A rate constant in the order of 1E-4 M^-1s^-1 was obtained for the reaction.A comparision of bromine distribution in Ag(1+)-perturbed malonic acid and and malic acid containing BZ systems revealed the difference in their oscillatory behavior.
