Abstract
The influence of ionic strength on the rate of oxidation of d-glucose by bromine in aqueous solution has been shown to support the previous assumption that in strongly acid solution molecular bromine reacts with the d-glucose molecule, whereas in moderately acid solution, it reacts with the anion of d-glucose. The energies of activation for the two reactions have been determined. The high value of the rate constant for the reaction between bromine and the d-glucose anion has been shown to be due to a low energy of activation, the Pz-factors being practically identical.
