The danger of inadvertent heterogeneous catalysis when studying solution kinetics

Abstract

Reactions in solution can be heterogeneously catalyzed not only by conductance or e. m. f. electrodes but also by precipitates formed during the titration of qliquots. Attempts to follow a Menschutkin reaction by Volhard titrations revealed serious errors caused by the catalysis of a side reaction by insoluble silver salts.

Abstract

Гетерогенный катализ реакций в растворах может иметь место не только на электродах применяемых для измерения проводимости или ЭДС но также и за счет осадков, образующихся при титровании растворов. Попытки регистрации Меняшуткина с помощью титрования Вольхарда приводит к серьезным погрешностям, вызванным катализом солями серебра побочных реакций.
