parallel lines are observed in Figure 9 for the values of Hf" of the hydrates of MgC1:; and FeC13. We assume, therefore, that the same relation also holds for the values of Gf" of the hydrates of MgCl2 and FeC13. Since Gf" for FeC13 is known, we are now able to calculate Gf" for the hydrates of FeC13. If data for Hf" and Gf" of other metal chlorides (e.g. BaC12, CaC12, and NiC12) and their hydrates are used as a basis of the analogy, the same results are obtained quantitatively. A plot of the values of Gf" (FeClYnHz) vs.[H20]/[FeC13] is a straight line. It appears therefore, that for all equilibria between the hydrates of FeC13, K = 1.On the basis of the data mentioned above, we calculated the fraction active catalyst, [FeC13-H20]/[FeC13] as a function of the degree of hydration, [H20]/[FeC13]. The results are given in Table IV.
