Abstract:
The rate constants for the reduction of the divalent mercury ion Hg2+ by alcohol radicals, which are produced in acidic aqueous solutions containing methanol, ethanol or 2-propanol, are determined by optical absorption measurements to be 7.0 x 108, 3.8 x 108 or 3.1 x 108 dm3 mol¿1 s¿1, respectively.
