~ ~~The rate of the reaction of periodate with iodide in acidic media was studied. The rateAt higher acid concentrations the expression also contains a term in [H+Iz. This is confirmed by comparison with the data reported by Abel and Siebenschein. The reaction exhibits salt effects of low specificity, even in the presence of alkaline earth cations. Lanthanum and thorium ions have a retarding effect. The mechanism of reaction is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
