LXXXVIII.—The velocity of hydrolysis of the aliphatic amides by alkali

Abstract

The abscism represent, 2t for formamide, t for acetamide and propionamide, t / 2 for butyramide, isobutyramide, and capronamide, t/4 for valeramide. Each division of the ordinate is equal to 500 c.c., except for formamide, where one division is equal to 5000 C.C.

Hydrolysis Reactions of Thioacetamide in Aqueous Solutions

“…For the hydrolysis of acetamide in aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions, Crocker and Lowe (3) give the value of 0.28 liter mole-1 min.-1 for the secondorder velocity constant at 95.9°C. From their data the second-order constant ivas calculated to be 0.24 liter NjCYLINDERŜ WEEPING APPARATUS mole-1 min.-1 at 90°C .…”
