An. Yermakov et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE BRANCHING RATIO OF SO5- RADICALS SELF-REACTION IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION, Journal of physical chemistry, 100(9), 1996, pp. 3557-3560
Temperature dependence of chain oxidation of bisulfite occurring throu
gh the self-reaction of peroxomonosulfate radicals, SO5- + SO5- --> SO
4- + SO4- + O-2(k(1a)), SO5- + SO5- --> S2O82- + O-2(k(1b)), has been
determined over the range 278-313 K. The activation energy of the bran
ching ratio of SO5- self-reaction, k(1a)/k(1b), was derived, E(a) = 7.
