Abstract
The mechanism and kinetics of the oxidation of sodium acetate with permanganate in alkaline and neutral media, has been investigated using (2-14C) acetate. The reaction is first order both with respect to permanganate and acetate ions. The initial second order rate constants depend linearly on the square of the hydroxide ion concentration. Arrhenius acitvation energy of the oxidation reaction carried out in 12M NaOH is 24.0 kcal/mole in the temperature interval 50–100°C. The mechanism of the principal path leading to the oxalate formation and the mechanism of the side reaction resulting in the carbon dioxide production has been proposed and discussed.
