Abstract
The rates of dehydration of ethyl alcohol of 95 per cent strength by calcium oxide were determined at 15°, 45°, and 78°. By two successive treatments for two months each with lime at room temperature, the alcohol was found to be dehydrated in a satisfactory manner. The same result was found to be accomplished at 45° by two treatments of one week each. In neither case is refluxing necessary.
