Summary
Nitrite ion reacts with bis(dihydrogentellurato) copper(III) through initial complex formation between the reactants in alkaline medium according to the equation
The rate increases with increase in [NaClO4]. The values of k and K are 1.60 × 10-4 and 9.55, respectively, at 25° C. The values of Δ 0H and Δ 0S associated with the equilibrium step are 25 kJ mol-1 and 102.7 J K-1 mol-1, whereas for the rate-determining step the values of ΔH ≠ and ΔS ≠ are 72.4k Jmol-1 and −74.3 JK-1mol-1, respectively.
