Reaction Scheme for Silver Complex Formation

The document describes a reaction scheme involving the oxidation of sulfite (SO32-) by persulfate (S2O82-) in the presence of silver ions (Ag+). The persulfate acts as the oxidizing agent, forming sulfate (SO42-) and reactive sulfur species. The reactive sulfur species then reacts with silver ions to form a complex. This complex undergoes hydrolysis to produce formaldehyde, sulfate, silver, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. The rate of formation of this complex depends on the concentrations of reactive sulfur species, silver ions, and hydrogen ions and can be expressed through a rate law and equilibrium constants.
