The kinetics of the aqueous reactions In free chlorine and excess ammonia were followed voltammetrlcally In the range pH 3-12. Molar ratios of ammonia to hypochlorite varied from 6.3 to 1.3. At pH 12 the pseudo-first-order constant for the formation of chloramine In a large excess of ammonia was 1.1 min"1. At lower pHs the rate was too fast to be measured. The disappearance of combined chlorine was followed over the same pH range. Typical first-order constants In buffered solutions were 2.5 X 10~2 min"1, 1.3 X 10"2 min"1, and 1.9 X 10~2 min"1 at pH 5.0, 7.5, and 11.0, respectively, depending on the dominant chloramine species. An unexpected rate minimum of 1.1 X 10~2 min"1 was observed at pH 9.8, where monochloramine should be the only reactive species. The peak potential for the reduction of chloramine at the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) was an S-shaped function of pH. Essentially constant peak potentials of -0.52 V vs. saturated Ag/AgCI were observed at pH 8-12. At lower pHs the potential shifted anodlcafly Indicating composite potentials. The predominant chloramine species at each pH were confirmed by UV spectroscopy.
