The hydrogen yields observed in the cobalt-60 gamma -ray irradiation of sulfuric acid solutions of ceric ions indicate an acid independence to 0.8 M H₂SO₄. The suppressive action of the solute may be expressed by the equation G(H₂) = -O.2l(Ce^IV)^1/3 X + 0.44. The scavenging effect of ceric ion indicates that the theoretical cerous yield may be obtained only in infinitely dilute ceric solutions.
