Moelwyn-Hughes's experimental and theoretical researches on chemical kinetics constitute original contributions to our knowledge of the isotope effect in gases and solutions, ionic reactions, enzyme catalysis and the general theory of solutions. The advances made may be judged from the two editions (1933 and 1947) of his monograph on "The Kinetics of Reactions in Solutions" - a book which has stimulated and influenced work in a number of allied subjects. His present experiments and his most recent papers are devited to hydrolysis, and an attempt to correlate experimental energies of activation with the thermal (or third law) properties fo the system. |
