that AH assumes a value of zero a t 58.1'. Consequently, pK1 would be expected to pass through a minimum (6.293) and K1 to reach a maximum (5.09 X a t that temperature. Such behavior is in accord with similar results on all other weak acids, so far as they have been studied." In the last column of Table IV are listed values for AH in calories, computed from equation (11'). The value a t 25' (AH = 2075 calories) is in excellent agreement with that derived from e. m. f . measurements a t 18 and 38' by Stadie and Hawes,'j and also by Cullen, Keeler and Robinson,16 both giving A H = 2050 calories.

Summary New measurements have been made at 23' on the conductances of solutions of carbonic acid and of potassium bicarbonate. The relative conductances a t 0, 15,23 and 38' of saturated carbonic acid solution and of potassium bicarbonate, potassium chloride and hydrochloric acid a t 0.001 normal have also been determined. From these data the thermodynamic dissociation constant of carbonic acid as a monobasic acid has been obtained for the temperatures given. These values have been used in obtaining equations by means of which the ionization constant K1 and the heat A H of the reaction HzO COr = H HC03are expressed as functions of the temperature, The values of the constant K I are 4.31 X a t 25' and 4.82 X a t 38') in reasonable agreement with the corresponding values 4 . j X lop7 and 4.9 X low7obtained by MacInnes and Belcher a t these temperatures.

The Photolysis of Dry Ozone at XX 208, 254, 280 and 313 m,u. 11. Reaction Kinetics BY LAWRENCE JOSEPH HEIDT Recent data from this Laboratory1 on the photolysis of dry ozone, largely a t X 208 mp, gave quantum yields, 0, referred to ozone as large as 6.7. This strongly suggested a chain mechanism; but the decrease in 0 with po3/po2was not so great as that given by Beretta and Schumacher2 a t X 313 mu, nor was $J independent of the light intensity. Further interpretation of the data was therefore postponed until a check was made upon the work a t X 313 mp and until the influences of concentrations and wave length upon quantum yields were more fully established. Such data are presented here. The experimental procedure, precautions, and corrections were the same as previously followed.

At X 313 mp an inverted U type quartz mercury arc lamp3 was used as a light source. The trap a t the top of the inverted U was omitted. Instead, the U was tilted so that the plane containing it made an angle of approximately 13' with the plane containing the plungers. The plunger connected to the upper positive electrode was seated; the other was slightly unseated. The luminous column was contained in a quartz tube 4 mm. inside diameter and 7 mm. 0 . d. The arc length was 60 mm. The lamp was operated on a 110-v. storage battery source a t from 2 to 4 amp. It was as intense, constant and durable for slit illumination as its higher voltage type predecessor. 3

From 111, l/# is equal to the sum of two terms, the first of which increases to 1/(2 f &/(os)) or '/2 (very nearly) as Poz approaches (PO% Po3), and the second of which increases to a constant k3/2h (very nearly) times po2(po2 $ 0 3 ) / h The experimental work (see Fig. 1) shows a similar increase in 1/# with this ratio." The constant, k3/2k2, is the reciprocal of the slope of the straight line (Fig. 1, solid line) which the data approach a t small mole fractions of ozone. Its intercept on the l/# axis equals the maximum value of the first term, :i. e., 1/2 (very nearly), as Po2-+ (Po2 po3).

hence, i t is not possible to assign from the data unique values to a and 0. The work of this Laboratory, however, gives cp >4 when po,P/po, is less than 100. Therefore, /3 must be greater than zero; otherwise, if the postulated mechanism is correct, # couM not exceed 4 even though all the primary products of the photo dissociation subsequently decomposed ozone. A plausible assumptiong is to set p = 2. We may evaluate CY in the following way. At XX 208, 254, 280 and 313 mp, the approximate equivalence of # suggests that the primary act is essentially similar a t these wave lengths, i. e., CY remains unchanged. The energy available a t X 313 mp (91 kcal.) is sufficient to dissociate ozone into an oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule in its first electronically excited lZ state (24 37 kcal.). It is not sufficient, however, t o dissociate a n ozone molecule into oxygen k g = kg' ks atoms (24 117 kcal.).12 Also, the energy of the - - 2i(l a ) - (1 - a) k4 1 - 2i 32 to 2 transition, 37 kcal., corresponds almost where i is the intercept of the plots on the l/+ exactly with the difference between the long wave axis.

The “constant” A , depends among other things upon the temperature, the nature of the surface and the distribution of incident light flux over the surface. With our apparatus the latter varies widely with wave length. I t is approximately constant, however, st a given wave length and temperature, for Eo was diminished by stopping down the collimation lens; the slits and source were left unchanged. As k3S3 and k5Ss enter equation I11 as additive terms to the total pressure, term I of I11 increases with EOand kp,,.
