P. Vani et al., KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF OXIDATION OF DL-METHIONINE BY MANGANESE(III) IN SULFURIC-ACID MEDIUM, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 52(1), 1994, pp. 175-182
The kinetics of oxidation of DL-methionine by manganese(III) have been
studied at 30-degrees-C in aqueous sulfuric acid medium. The reaction
is first order each in manganese(III) and methionine. A suitable mech
anism is proposed which leads to the rate law. - d[Mn (III)]/dt = k1[H
