31. The dry ether was prepared by distilling anhydrous diethyl ether from a lithium aluminum hydride - ether suspension.
32. The 0.54% aqueous acetonitrile was prepared by diluting 5.40 mL of double-distilled water to 1 L in a volumetric flask with dry acetonitrile (Caledon Laboratories Ltd. HPLC grade). Different batches of the "dry" acetonitrile obtained from the supplier gave different rate constants. This was undoubtedly due to the small, but different, amounts of water in the dry acetonitrile. Adding a small amount of water gave a reproducible solvent and reproducible rate constants and isotope effects.
