chiometric balances made on both reactants and products demonstrated that no other substances are involved in the reaction, at least within the accuracy of the analytical methods. This was true for the completed reactions as well as those that could be monitored with time (pH > 8.35).The reaction rate constant kx is independent of pH in the range of 9.5-11.6, ionic strength up to 0.04, initial concentrations of nitrite ranging from 1 to 17 mg/L as N and chlorine from 2.3 to 140 mg/L as Cl2, and finally
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.
