Bromal labelled with C14 in the carbonyl group has been used to show that small amounts of carbon dioxide and carboxylic acids are produced in the radiolysis of aqueous bromal solutions. G values for the production of CO2 and carboxylic acid are about 7.5% and 15% of those for HBr production, respectively. The observed yield of carboxylic acid is in agreement with that found by titration.
