Abstract: The kinetics of oxidation of pyruvate by diperiodatoargentate(Ⅲ) ion (DPA) has been studied spec-trophotometrically in alkaline medium. It was found that the reaction order with respect to both DPAand pyruvate is unity and the rate equation can be expressed as -d[Ag(Ⅲ)]1/dl=k0[Ag(Ⅲ)]1·[CH3COCOO] The rate increases with the increase in [OH ] and decreases with the increase in [periodate]. There is a positive ionic strength effect in this reaction system. Amechanism has been proposed to explain the experimental results. The observed activation parameters are presented.

Key words: Pyruvate, Diperiodatoargentate(Ⅲ), Kinetics, Oxidation, Mechanism
