Abstract

The kinetics of Cu(II) catalyzed oxidation of hydrazine by hexacyanoferrate(III) is studied in acid medium. The stoichiometry of the reaction is 1:1. The first order condition [N2H5] > [Fe(CN)63−] is maintained. The order of the reaction is unity with respect to Fe(CN)63−, fractional orders with respect to hydrazine and copper. The reaction is independent of variation of sulphuric acid and ionic strength. A suitable mechanism is proposed for the reaction
