title: Oxidation of vanadium(III) by hydrogen peroxide and the oxomonoperoxo vanadium(V) ion in acidic aqueous solutions: a kinetics and simulation study.
abstract: The reaction between vanadium(III) and hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acidic solutions was investigated. The rate law shows first-order dependences on both vanadium(III) and hydrogen peroxide concentrations, with a rate constant, defined in terms of -d[H(2)O(2)]/dt, of 2.06 +/- 0.03 L mol(-)(1) s(-)(1) at 25 degrees C; the rate is independent of hydrogen ion concentration. The varying reaction stoichiometry, the appreciable evolution of dioxygen, the oxidation of 2-PrOH to acetone, and the inhibition of acetone formation by the hydroxyl radical scavengers, dimethyl sulfoxide and sodium benzoate, point to a Fenton mechanism as the predominant pathway in the reaction. Methyltrioxorhenium(VII) does not appear to catalyze this reaction. A second-order rate constant for the oxidation of V(3+) by OV(O(2))(+) was determined to be 11.3 +/- 0.3 L mol(-)(1) s(-)(1) at 25 degrees C. An overall reaction scheme consisting of over 20 reactions, in agreement with the experimental results and literature reports, was established by kinetic simulation studies.
