The mechanism of acid catalyzed decomposition of peroxodisulfate, (S2O82-) in aqueous perchlorate medium involves the hydrolysis of the species H2S2O8 and HS2O8- and the homolysis of the species H2S2O8, HS2O8- and S2O82- at the O—O bond. The overall rate law when 1.4M 〉 [HClO4] 〉 0.1M is \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \frac{{ - d[{\rm S}_{\rm 2}{\rm O}_8^{2 - }]}}{{dt}}\, = \,k_0 [{\rm S}_{\rm 2}{\rm O}_8^{2 - }]\, + \,k' [{\rm S}_{\rm 2}{\rm O}_8^{2 - }][{\rm H}+]\, + \,k{''}[{\rm S}_{\rm 2}{\rm O}_8^{2 - }][{\rm H}+]^2 $$\end{document}The constants k′ and k″ contain the hydrolysis and homolysis rate constants of HS2O8- and H2S2O8, respectively. With added Ag(I), the acid catalyzed and Ag(I) catalyzed reactions take place independently. Ag(I) catalyzed decomposition appears to involve the species AgS2O8- (aq).
