It is well known that neutral or weakly acid solutions of alkali chlorates show no appreciable oxidizing power. However, it has been observed by K.A. Hofmann (Ber. 45,3329, 1912; 46, 1567, 1913) that, in the presence of very minute amounts of osmium tetroxide, the oxygen becomes readily available. Chlorate solutions activated in this way will, for example, oxidize hydrazine to free nitrogen, potassium iodide to iodine, and arsenic to arsenious acid.
Hoffman found that, in the oxidation of hydrazine sulfate, nitrogen is liberated quantitatively according to the equation [...].
The investigation of the mechanism of this reaction has been taken as the subject of this thesis.

The chemical engineering is one of the most challenging and rewarding careers you can choose.
This is because the chemical industry is one of the most important driving forces of the economies of many countries, serving as a basis for other industries such as steel, petroleum, food and electronics.

Water is a fundamental element in all seasons of the year as a constituent part of the food, the environment and of course the human body. But in the summer when it is noted further that the scarcity of natural resources.
The world has started to suffer the consequences of the neglect of certain resources and environmental abuse, among which is the increasing deterioration of the ozone layer causing serious burns to the skin when exposure is excessive, and the crisis water that exists today.
