Notes:
13C/12C ratios of the carboxyl and methyl carbons of acetic acid were determined by two published methods, using the thermal decomposition of sodium acetate and calcium acetate respectively. Comparison of the results obtained on a variety of samples revealed a systematic disagreement of 4.0% between the two methods. The source of this discrepancy is shown to be a fractionation associated with the calcium acetate method.
