ABSTRACT
The kinetics of Fe(II) ion-catalysed oxidation of glycine by hydrogen peroxide have been
studied. The reaction is first order with respect to glycine, Fe(II) ions and hydrogen peroxide, The empirical rate law is:
d [Glycine]
= k [Fe2+] [Glycine] [H2 O2]
dt
A reaction mechanism has also been proposed.
