Abstract:
The reaction kinetics between HNO2 and (hydroxyamino)acetic acid (HAAA) in perchloric acid solution were determined by spectrophotometry. The rate equation is found to be -dc(HNO2)/dt=kc0.87(HAAA) c2.11(H+)c0.51(ClO-4), where k=(3.63±0.35) (mol/L)3.49/s at 1 ℃, Ea=(72.6±3.0) kJ/mol. Effects of the concentration of HAAA, acidity, ionic strength and temperature on reduction rate of HNO2 were investigated. HNO2 can be rapidly reduced by HAAA under usual conditions. The reaction rate can be accelerated by increasing the concentration of HAAA, acidity, ionic strength and reaction temperature.
