Abstract
IT was the purpose of this study to obtain more evidence regarding the effect of ultrasonics on chemical reactions, and to determine the relationship between the reaction yield and solubility of dissolved gas in the system. Griffing1 found that gases of different solubilities have different thresholds of cavitation; but no attempt was made to ascertain the effect of varying the solubility of a particular gas.
