In this quarter we studied the effect of hydrogen pressure, and of sulfur and nitrogen containing compounds on the isomerization and hydrocracking of n-hexadecane using a Pt/ZrO{sub 2}/SO{sub 4} catalyst. The reactions were carried out at 300{degrees}C and hydrogen pressures between 50 and 500 psig. Increasing hydrogen pressure resulted in increased conversion and increased hydrocracking. Nitrogen containing compounds had a greater inhibiting effect on the conversion of n-hexadecane than sulfur-containing compounds. The reaction of diphenylmethane in air at 25{degrees}C and in the presence of sulfated zirconia was studied as a possible means to characterize the protonic acidity of solid superacids
