Summary
The kinetics of the outer-sphere oxidation of the arsenic(III) by ferricyanide have been studied spectrophotometrically in MeOH−H2O solvent mixtures covering the range 0–65 wt% at the range of 20–45°C. The effect of solvent on rate of the reaction has been investigated. On the basis of this study, a mechanism of this reaction has been suggested and the activation thermodynamic parameters are calculated.
