The reaction between KI and [Fe(CN)
6]
3– ion, catalysed by hydrogen ions, was found to be catalysed further by PdCl
2. Separate reactions under similar conditions, studied in the absence as well as in the presence of PdCl
2 catalyst, were found to follow first order kinetics w.r. to [Fe(CN)
6]
3– and [H
+], while the order was two w.r. to [I
–]. [Fe(CN)
6]
4– ions were found to have a negative effect while changes in ionic strength of the medium do not effect the reaction velocity. Reaction in the presence of PdCl
2 showed direct proportionality w.r. to [PdCl
2]. The rate and extent of the reaction, which takes place even at zero [PdCl
2] in the co-catalysed reaction, was calculated and was found to be in accordance with the rate values of the separately studied reaction at similar concentrations without adding PdCl
