rate constants ( /2 "= 8 s) and thus the literature values quoted in this paper should be considered lower limits to the reaction rate for the conditions employed here (1 N NaOH).Acid-Catalyzed Hydrolysis of PE-COgCHg. Hydrolysis was carried out by floating PE-C02CH3 (ester side down) on the surface of 50% (w/w) H2S04 at 25 ± 2 °C for the specified time.The film was rinsed 4 times in water and once in acetone and air dried. Literature values for the hydrolysis rate were determined from the pseudo-first-order rate constants established under identical conditions.26Registry No. polyethylene,
