To Determine the Reaction Products of Reaction between Ferrous Fumarate and Ceric Sulphate

The result of reaction between Ferrous Sulphate and Ceric Sulphate are summarized below:

(1) The reaction is first order with respect to Ce(IV) and first order with respect to Ferrous Fumarate.

(2) The overall order of the reaction is two.

(3) The reaction is appreciably catalysed by Cu^2+, Zn^2+, Fe²⁺ and Mn²⁺ But the activity of Cu²⁺ is greater than rest of all metal ions.

(4) The specific rate is linearly related to the concentration of Cu²⁺ and is governed by the equation K= K₀ + Conc Cu²⁺

(5) The final product is identified to be Ferric Fumarate.
