Abstract

We present a new experimental system to study the kinetics of the reaction front in A + B → C reaction-diffusion systems with initially-separated reactants. The set-up is composed of a CCD camera monitoring the kinetics of the front formed in the reaction-diffusion system Cu2+ + tetra → 1:1 complex (in aqueous, gel-free solution) inside a 150 micron gap between two flat microscope slides. This is basically a two-dimensional system. The results are consistent with the theoretical predictions for the anomalous time dependence of the front's width, height, and location.
