ON THE HYDROLYSIS OF CANESUGAR IN PRESENCE OF ACID SOL

The study of the influence of acid sole on the velocity of hydrolysis of canesugar has revealed that we are here dealing with a simultaneous reaction, (a) the Inversion of canesugar in the homogeneous liquid phase by H⁺ Iona present in that phase, and (b) the inversion taking plane on the surface of the said sols. The velocity of this second reaction is proportional to the concentration of the acid sol.
