The exchange of the oxygen atoms of acetic acid with water, in concentrated solutions of hydrochloric, sulphuric, and perchloric acid, is described. The change in rate caused by the addition of high concentrations of phosphoric acid and of lithium salts to the reaction medium has also been observed. A mechanism consistent with all the experimental results has been postulated.
