When cellulose acetate sulphate is dissolved in acetone the hydrolysis of the sulphate ester is rapid compared with that of the acetate ester. In 70% acetone the relative rates are reversed. Hydrolysis of the sulphate ester in acetone is greatly affected by the temperature. At 25 °C. or greater the hydrolysis is complete after 24 hr. A potentiometric titration method has been developed for the estimation of sulphuric acid in the presence of smaller amounts of acetic acid.

The Arrhenius constants have been evaluated for the hydrolysis of formamide, acetamide, propionamide, and benzamide in hydrochloric acid solutions over the concentration range 1 to 10 N. There is approximate correspondence between reaction rates and activation energies for the series of amides. An increase in observed activation energy with increasing acid concentration was found for all amides. The maximum in rate of hydrolysis, which occurs at higher acid concentrations, is discussed and accounted for by the variation in the Arrhenius constants with acid concentration.

The amylase system of birch sap consists of a cellobiogenic amylase and most probably a glucogenic amylase. The optimum conditions of pH and temperature are pH 5. 5 at 4 °C. to 6.3 at 60 °C. The maximum production of cellobiose occurred at a temperature of 50 °C. at the optimum pH for this temperature. The optimum conditions for the production of glucose were pH 5.5 and a temperature of 50 °C.It is felt that these new facts throw some additional light on the constitution of starch, and that possibly birch sap might serve as a source of cellobiose, which has heretofore only been prepared commercially by hydrolysis of cellulose acetate.

The hydrolysis of propionitrile has been studied in aqueous hydrochloric acid solutions from 0.5 to 10 N and over a range of temperatures at six acid concentrations. The rate of hydrolysis as measured by ammonia formation is dependent upon the decomposition of the intermediate amide at acid concentrations above 4 N. The system represented by nitrile [Formula: see text] amide [Formula: see text] acid affords a good example of consecutive, irreversible unimolecular reactions over the complete range [Formula: see text] (below 4 N) to [Formula: see text] (above 11 N). A marked increase in rate with increasing acid concentration is accounted for in large measure by a decrease in observed activation energy of 6.7 Cal. over the range 1 to 10 N.

A study of the rates of hydrolysis of 3-Me-2-butyl bromide and methanesulfonate in water leads to values of ΔCp≠ of −80 and −40 cal deg−1 mole−1, respectively. The product was about 85–95 % t-pentanol, the remainder being olefin. The value of ΔCp≠ for the solvolysis of the methanesulfonate in D2O was −44 cal deg−1 mole−1. The kinetic solvent isotope effect (k.s.i.e.) for the latter was unusually low (k.s.i.e. = 1.047 at 5 °C and 1.025 at 25 °C). Deuteration at C-3 led to a reduction in the rate of hydrolysis by a factor of about 2.25. This is consistent with an activation process involving "hydrogen participation" as previously reported by Winstein and Takahashi for solvolysis of the corresponding tosylate in acetic acid. In contrast to the latter work, the reaction in water appears to be uncomplicated.
