Summary

It was found that ceric oxalate is an intermediate product in the oxidation of oxalic acid by ammonium hexanitrato cerate in solvents such as acetonitrile, and a mixture of acetonitrile and glacial acetic acid. Conditions for the formation of ceric oxalate and its decomposition into carbon dioxide and cerous oxalate have been studied. An analytical method for the estimation of oxalic acid in non-aqueous media has been evolved based on this reaction.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde festgestellt, daß bei der Oxydation von Oxalsäure mit Ammoniumhexanitratocerat(IV) in Acetonitril oder einem Gemisch von Acetonitril und Essigsäure Cer(IV)-oxalat als Zwischenprodukt auftritt. Die Bedingungen für die Bildung von Cer(IV)-oxalat und seine Zersetzung zu CO2 und Cer(III)-oxalat wurden untersucht. Ein Verfahren zur Oxalsäurebestimmung in nichtwäßrigem Medium wurde ausgearbeitet.
