Reaction rates have been measured in acid solution at 25 /sup 0/C for several reactions of iodine species and hydrogen peroxide. The reactions are all subsystems of reactions which occur in iodate-hydrogen peroxide oscillators. Reactions discussed are the following: HOI + HOI ..-->.. HOIO + H/sup +/ + I/sup -/, -1/2d(HOI)dt = 25 +/- 5 M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/(HOI)/sup 2/; HOI + HOIO ..-->.. 2H..mu.. + I/sup -/ + IO/sub 3//sup -/, -d(HOI)/dt = 230 +/- 20 M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/(HOI)(HOIO); HOIO + HOIO ..-->.. H/sup +/ + IO/sub 3//sup -/ + HOI, -1/2d(HOIO)lt. slashdt = 0.3 +/- 0.2 s/sup -1/(HOIO)/sup 2//(H/sup +/); HOI + H/sub 2/O/sub 2/..-->.. H/sup +/ + I/sup -/ + O/sub 2/ + H/sub 2/O, -d(HOI)dt = 5 +/- 3 M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/(HOI)(H/sub 2/O/sub 2/). In addition reaction products have been studied for reaction of H/sub 2/O/sub 2/ with HOI and HOIO. In both cases, at (H/sup +/) approx.0.1 M, oxidation to IO/sub 3//sup -/ is predominant at low (H/sub 2/O/sub 2/). Rates are too fast to establish rate laws by using manual mixing techniques. Calculations for a skeleton model of the Briggs-Rauscher oscillator, using the above rate constants, reproduce basic experimentally observed features.
