Salt effects in the kinetics of the formation of the iron(III) thiocyanate complex
Abstract
The reaction between iron(III) and thiocyanate ions has been studied in several electrolyte solutions over the concentration range 0–6 mol dm–3. The observed positive kinetic salt effects may be interpreted as arising as a result of ion–solvent interactions. Support for these conclusions comes from an examination of the activity coefficients of species estimated from the treatment given by Pitzer.
