Abstract

Kinetics of oxidation of indigo carmine (IC) by sodium hypohalites, NaOX (X = Cl or Br), in alkaline buffer of pH 9-11 has been studied spectrophotometrically at lambda = 610 nm. The experimental rate law obtained is -dIC]/dt = kOX-]IC]OH-]x where x < 1. Variation of ionic strength or dielectric constant of the medium had no effect on the reaction rate while the addition of halide ions slightly retarded the rate. A most plausible mechanism proposed on the basis of experimental results involves the formation of isatin sulphonate which undergoes further oxidation to anthranilate. Activation parameters have been evaluated.
