• Resumen

  • The absorbance decay of hexacyanoferrate(III) as a function of time shows a progressive deviation from zero to first order. This variation follows an experimental rate law that has been analyzed. The change in reaction order is due to a change in the relative rate of substrate oxidation with respect to that of catalyst regeneration.
