Physico-Chemical Investigations in the Amide Group
Some time ago, while studying the chemical dynamics of the changes which occur in solutions of urea or carbamide, I came upon some rather unexpected results which led me to hope that investigations conducted on somewhat the same lines with other substances of the amide group might prove to yield results of some interest. The amides referred to are those derived from carboxylic acids. While proceeding to this investigation I noticed some measurements, obtained in connection with the viscosity of aqueous solutions of carbamide, which appeared of sufficient interest to demand an inquiry into the nature of solutions of this class of substances before proceeding further with the subject of inquiry in the manner at first intended.
