Abstract
The radiation chemistry of aqueous solutions of chloral hydrate and of bromal hydrate has been further investigated. The electrical conductivity method of Andrews and Shore (1) was used to follow the appearance of acid. The yield of acid was found to be dependent on the dose rate, contrary to the conclusion reached by Andrews and Shore but in agreement with the results of other workers. A reexamination of Andrews and Shore's paper indicates that an incorrect interpretation was made of their data and reveals that, in fact, their data also indicate a dose rate dependence for the yield of acid. A free radical mechanism is proposed which is in good agreement with the observed dependence of the rate of formation of acid upon the dose rate and upon the solute concentration in both the presence and in the absence of oxygen.
