i^o Conductivity of Aqueous Solutions. Part V. 



1.69 at 218. It conforms fairly well to the mass-action law at all tem- 

 peratures. 



The hydrolysis of sodium acetate proved to be rather small even at 

 218, being only about 1 per cent in 0.01 normal solution, and could not 

 therefore be accurately determined. A rough estimate of the ionization- 

 constant of water (K w = Ch X Con) based on the hydrolysis data gave at 

 218 the value 372 X 10 -14 , which, when compared with the value at 18 

 (0.6 X 10" 14 ), shows the enormous increase produced by temperature.
