Abstract
FROM a recent discussion with J. H. Baxendale and P. George, we understand that they have from kinetic studies proposed a reaction scheme for the mechanism of the evolution of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide and ferrous ions [see p. 692 of this issue of Nature]. We have also obtained experimental evidence from the studies of the consumption ratios which lead to conclusions similar to theirs and which are discussed in the following.
