The reduction of Hg(II) by Ti(III) ions in aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid has been found to be of second‐order with respect to the total concentrations of Hg(II) and Ti(III) ions, − d [Ti +++ ] t / dt = k [Ti +++ ] t [Hg ++ ] t . The rate constant was found to be practically independent of the concentration of hydronium ion, but to be a function of that of chloride ion. The competing reactions of Ti +++ and TiCl ++ with Hg ++ , HgCl + , HgCl 2 , HgCl 3 − and HgCl 4 − were inferred. The specific rate constants were calculated.
