On the other hand, an increase of the CO2 content to give pH of was sufficiently great to retard the cleavage time 36 minutes, irrespective of the oxygen present, since a single curve serves to represent cleavage in the two solutions which, although showing more than a 4: i difference in oxygen content, had the same carbon dioxide content.
