Abstract: The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of the monoethyl ester of adipic acid have been investigated as a function of temperature and ionic strength. The results of measurements are discussed in terms of the primary kinetic salt effect. The applicability of electrostatic theory to the calculation of critical interionic distances of the reacting ions is discussed. The evaluation of experiments leads to the conclusion that the course of reaction is affected not only by electrostatic but also by nonelectrostatic interactions between the components of the reaction system.
