Abstract
Gas free solutions of carbon monoxide, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and acids were irradiated in the concentration range 10 μM to 1 M, between pH=1 to 13 and the reactions studied principally by gas analysis and potentiometric acid analysis. One organic component systems and, to a more limited extent, two organic component systems were investigated. To obtain significant results, foreign organic matter must be strictly excluded from the low concentration solutions and the methods used to accomplish this are described. Organic impurities in the water can be detected by irradiating the water with x‐rays and measuring the evolved hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The reactions cannot be briefly abstracted, but oxidation and condensation reactions with the evolvement of gaseous hydrogen are important in the effect of the rays. Carbon dioxide was produced from certain acids, particularly strongly from those having an oxygen containing group in the α‐position. No liberation of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons or oxygen...
