Abstract: | This is the first study, which shows both NH3 and NH4+ to inhibit the autoxidation of aqueous SO2 in the pH range 7.0–8.5. The rate of the autoxidation, R
aut
, in both buffered and unbuffered media at a fixed pH is in conformity with the rate law:
where R
0
is rate in the absence of the inhibitors, B is a pH dependent empirical constant and Inh]T is the analytical concentration of NH3 or NH4+. Both ammonia and ammonium ions appear to inhibit the autoxidation either by scavenging SO4− radicals or by forming less-reactive /unreactive Co(II)-NH3 complexes or both. The atmospheric relevance of the inhibition by ammonia and ammonium ions is discussed. |
