Abstract
The kinetics of hexachloroiridate(IV) oxidation of tin(II) in aqueous perchlorate media at a constant ionic strength of 2.0 mol dm-3 have been studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction was found to follow second-order overall kinetics and first order with respect to each of the reactants. The results showed hydrogen ion dependence where the reaction rate increased with increasing hydrogen ion concentration. The activation parameters were evaluated and a tentative reaction mechanism has been discussed.
