Abstract
JANDER'S theory1 of reactions in liquid sulphur dioxide has recently been criticized by Bateman, Hughes and Ingold2 and, in this connexion, it appeared that some useful information might be obtained by determining whether or not exchange of oxygen occurred between liquid sulphur dioxide and a dissolved alkali sulphite labelled with heavy oxygen. Jander's theory would necessarily require an exchange to occur. Preliminary work on this problem indicated a discrepancy between the solubility of sodium sulphite given by Jander and that determined by ourselves. It was decided, therefore, to check the solubilities of several other salts.
