Abstract
The polymerization of acetaldehyde to paraldehyde at 15 °C. using phosphoric acid is a reaction which at low concentrations of catalyst is of the third order At higher concentrations of catalyst the velocity tends to increase with time due to factors which may include changed ionic conditions. The velocity of the reaction is directly proportional to the quantity of added catalyst.The method of studying this reaction was the observation of the change of volume dilatometrically with time, under conditions which would not favor the production of metaldehyde.
