Kinetics and Mechanisms of the Chromium(III) Reactions with 2,4-and 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic Acids in Weak Acidic Aqueous Solutions

Abstract

The reactions of 2,4-and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids (dihydroxybenzoic acid, DHBA) with chromium(III) in weak acidic aqueous solutions have been shown to take place in at least two stages. The first stage of the reactions has an observed rate constan
