Normal salts

Normal Salts.—As a rule the method employed in the preparation of a normal salt is some modification of the general plan of double decomposition. This may take the form of (1) neutralization (2) the action of one salt upon another (3) the displacement of a volatile or insoluble acid by a nonvolatile or soluble one (4) the action of an acid upon a metal. In the last case it is to be remembered that acids will liberate hydrogen only with those metals which are above hydrogen in the electrochemical series that action upon those which are below hydrogen must be preceded by oxidation that an acid will soon cease to act upon a metal if an insoluble salt is formed which protects the metal, or if

Both normal or neutral ammonium acetate [631-61-8], NH4C2H2O2, and the acid salt are known. The normal salt results from exact neutralization of acetic acid using ammonia the acid salt is composed of the neutral salt and acetic acid. 

The normal salt, CH COONH, is a white, deUquescent, crystalline soHd, formula wt 77.08, having a specific gravity of 1.073. It is quite soluble in water or ethanol 148 g dissolve in 100 g of water at 4°C. The salt s solubiUty in water increases only slightly as temperature increases up to about 25 °C. The specific gravity of aqueous neutral ammonium acetate ranges from 1.022 to 1.092 as solution concentration increases from 10 to 50 wt % (4). The normal salt melts at 114°C, but decomposes before reaching its boiling point. 

Antimony(III) Salts. Concentrated acids dissolve trivalent antimony compounds. From the resulting solutions it is possible to crystallise normal and basic salts, eg, antimony(4lI) sulfate [7446-32-4], Sb2(S0 2i antimony sulfate [14459-74-6], (SbO)2SO antimony(4lI) phosphate [12036-46-3], SbPO antimony(4lI) acetate [6923-52-0], Sb(C244202)3 antimony(4lI) nitrate [20328-96-5], Sb(N03)3 and antimony(4lI) perchlorate ttihydrate [65277-48-7], Sb(QO 34420. The normal salts all hydrolyse readily. 

Bismuth Salts. Bismuth trioxide dissolves in concentrated solutions of strong oxyacids to yield bismuth salts. In more dilute solutions of strong acids or in solutions of weak acids, the oxide reacts to form bismuthyl or basic salts. The normal salts are very susceptible to hydrolysis. 

The dichromate(VI) salts may be obtained by the addition of acid to the chromate(VI) salts. However, they are better prepared by adding one-half the acid equivalent of a metal hydrate, oxide, or carbonate to an aqueous solution of CrO, then removing the water and/or CO2. Most dichromates(VI) are water-soluble, and the salts contain water(s) of hydration. However, the normal salts of K, Cs, and Rb are anhydrous. Dichromate(VI) compounds of the colorless cations are generally orange-red. The geometry of Ci2 is described as two tetrahedral CrO linked by the shared odd oxygen (72).

Lower oxidation states are rather sparsely represented for Zr and Hf. Even for Ti they are readily oxidized to +4 but they are undoubtedly well defined and, whatever arguments may be advanced against applying the description to Sc, there is no doubt that Ti is a transition metal . In aqueous solution Ti can be prepared by reduction of Ti, either with Zn and dilute acid or electrolytically, and it exists in dilute acids as the violet, octahedral [Ti(H20)6] + ion (p. 970). Although this is subject to a certain amount of hydrolysis, normal salts such as halides and sulfates can be separated. Zr and are known mainly as the trihalides or their derivatives and have no aqueous chemistry since they reduce water. Table 21.2 (p. 960) gives the oxidation states and stereochemistries found in the complexes of Ti, Zr and Hf along with illustrative examples. (See also pp. 1281-2.)...

Hydrolysis is a special type of double decomposition in water which in addition to its function as a solvent splits up a normal salt partially to form the acid and the base from which the salt is derived. In short, hydrolysis is a partial reversal of neutralization.

Applied to cotton by exhaust method or pad-dry. Scheme 10.65 Good yields with direct dyes using only 2 g/l salt. Excellent build-up with most reactive dyes only 10% of normal salt usage needed for low-reactivity dyes and none for highly reactive types. Washing fastness very good but light fastness impaired.

Among molybdate salts, sodium and ammonium molybdates have commercial applications. The normal salt, sodium orthomolyhdate, Na2 M0O4, is used in pigments. It also is used as a corrosion inhibitor and as an additive to soil. Lead molybdate, Pb M0O4, occurs in nature as mineral ulfenite, from which molybdenum metal is recovered.

The acid chloride, [Co en2Cl2]Cl.HC1.2H20, is formed by mixing a solution of cobaltous chloride with an aqueous solution of ethylene-diamine monohydrate and oxidising the mixture with air. Concentrated hydrochloric acid is then added and the whole heated on a water-bath for one hour. The liquid is allowed to stand, when crystals separate, and are filtered and washed with concentrated hydrochloric acid.2 The salt crystallises in dark green rhombic plates. It is soluble in water, though less soluble than the normal salt, and on heating to 100° C. is transformed into the normal salt.

Bro mo-pentammino-iridium Sulphate, [Ir(NH3)5Br]SO4.H20, is produced by triturating the nitrite with excess of sulphuric acid. On the addition of water slender needle-shaped crystals separate on cooling. They appear to be the acid sulphate, but are converted into the normal salt by redissolving in water and precipitating with alcohol. The substance crystallises in shining yellowish plates which lose their water of hydration at 100° C-.1...
