Disproportionation reaction of iodous acid, HOIO. Determination of the concentrations of the relevant ionic species H⁺, H<inf>2</inf>OI⁺, and IO<inf>3</inf>^-

Abstract

© 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. The pseudo-equilibrium concentrations of the H+, IO3-, and H2OI+ ions, kinetically very important species in the disproportionation reaction of iodous acid, have been determined from the equilibrium dissociation reactions of sulfuric and iodous acids in the quasi-stationary state. The values observed were higher than the concentration of the protonated ion of hypoiodous acid.
