Abstract

Continuing work on elementary A+B→C reactions in capillaries, we study the reaction front dynamics of xylanol orange with Cr3+ in an effectively one-dimentional system with initially separated reactants. This reaction, in contrast to previously studied systems, is not strictly in the diffusion limited regime. i.e. the probability of reaction between species is not unity. Anamalous behavior not seen in the diffusion-limited case has been observed experimentally for the reaction rate, boundary motion, reaction zone width, and local reaction rate. The observed behavior is consistent with recent theoretical studies.
