Abstract: The kinetics of oxidation of sucrose with potassium permanganate is studied spectrophotometrically by using systronic visible Spectrophotometer-105 at 545 maximum wavelength. First order rate of reaction has been studied with respect to concentration of oxidant, substrate, H2SO4 in presence of Hg (II) . The effect of salt does not affect rate of the reaction in absence of catalyst . This result shows that molecular species are responsible for formation of final product in rate determining step. when concentration of sucrose increases then rate of reaction increases. Same result obtained in case of increasing the concentration of oxidant also it has been observed that rate of reaction increases by increasing the concentration of catalyst .Rate law of the reaction and suitable mechanism of the reaction is predicted for the current research work
