Abstract

In 0-3N acid the hydrolysis of chloroacetamide follows a bimole-cular law with an activation energy and activation entropy both greater than the corresponding quantities for acetamide in accord with predictions based on the charge distribution. However, at even slightly lower acidity the free energy of activation is a continuous function of the hydrogen-ion concentration becoming more positive with decreasing acidity in the range studied.
