A series of ampoules were heated in either a fused salt bath maintained by a Bailey Model 124 proportional controller or in an aluminum block oven regulated by a Cole Palmer Model 1300 proportional controller. All runs for 1Oc used the fused salt bath. The runs for 10t used both and it was established that both devices gave the same rate at the same measured temperature, Each sample was hydrolyzed16 and analyzed on columns D and E. The data were treated as before.
