This paper was inspired by [4]. The main result there suggests a close relationship between injective hulls of C* algebras as studied in [2] and [3] and rational completions as studied in [1]. We shall prove an analogue of Theorem 1 in [3] for rational completions. The latter theorem states that the injective hull of the algebra C(X) of all complex valued functions on the compact Hausdorff space X is the algebra B(X) of all bounded Borel functions modulo sets of first category.
