I.INTRODUCTION
Peroxomonosulphate (PMS) is a versatile oxidant (Lavanya et.al,2015) and is widely used in environmental applications (Edwards et.al., 1989) such as the decontamination (Johnson …show more content…
So it is necessary to study the effect of sulphate ion during the course of the reaction. The kobs values are calculated at a different sulphate ion concentration by maintaining the concentration of all other constituents of the reaction mixture a constant. The rate of the reaction was found to be independent of the sulphate ion concentration.

C. EFFECT OF Mn(II) ON kobs The effect of the metal ion in all the three temperature are determined by varying the metal ion concentration and keeping the concentration of lactic acid and oxidant constant. The concentration of Mn(II) used in this study is in the range 5x10-5M to 3x10-4 M. It is observed that the kobs values increased with the metal ion concentrations and the results are given in Fig 2. The plot of kobs versus Mn(II) are straight lines passing through origin.
