Abstract

The dependence of the rate of the haemin-catalyzed decomposition of H ₂O₂ on pH was investigated. The mechanism which accounted for the results was (Equation Presented) Individual rate constants have been calculated: k₁ = 3.85 x 10² M^-1 min ^-1; k₃ = 2.9min^-1. K_A was estimated to be ≈10^-4 M and k₂≈1.3 x 10³ min ^-1. Under comparable conditions haemin is 20 times inferior to Fe³⁺ ion as a catalyst for the decomposition of H₂O ₂. The effect has been attributed to the lower value of K_A for haemin than for Fe³⁺ ion.
