The hydrolysis of cyanogen chloride has been studied in buffered media. Rate equations have been derived, general base catalysis has been identified, and the activation energy of the reaction has been measured. The effects of several additives on the rate of hydrolysis have been examined. The chlorine-catalysed hydrolysis has been investigated and the catalytic species has been conclusively identified as dissolved molecular chlorine.
