Abstract:
The kinetics of the reaction between peroxomonosulphate with glycolic acid was studied in the presence of Mn2+ in alkaline pH at three different temperatures (298K, 305K & 311K). The reaction followed first order with respect to peroxomonosulphate. The rate of the reaction increases with the Mn2+ and independent of glycolic acid, sulphate ion and hydroxide ion. Thermodynamics parameters were calculated and reported. Based on the results a rate equation, kinetic scheme and a most probable mechanism has been predicted.
