Since the silver salts of the carboxylic acids are usually soluble in dilute nitric acid, they must be prepared by treating an aqueous solution of a neutral salt of the acid (and not the free acid itself) with silver nitrate solution. It is not practicable to attempt to neutralise the acid with sodium or potassium hydroxide solution, because the least excess of alkali would subsequently cause the white silver salt to be contaminated with brown silver oxide. The general method used therefore to obtain a neutral solution j to dissolve the acid in a small excess of ammonia solution, and then to boil the solution until all free... 

Primary aromatic amides are crystaUine sohds with definite melting points. Upon boiling with 10-20 per cent, sodium or potassium hydroxide solution, they are hydrolysed with the evolution of ammonia (vapour turns red htmus paper blue and mercurous nitrate paper black) and the formation of the alkah metal salt of the acid ... 

Alternatively, treat a solution of 3 9 g. of the 6is-diazo ketone in 50 ml. of warm dioxan with 15 ml. of 20 per cent, aqueous ammonia and 3 ml. of 10 per cent, aqueous silver nitrate under reflux in a 250 or 500 ml. flask on a water bath. Nitrogen is gently evolved for a few minutes, followed by a violent reaction and the production of a dark brown and opaque mixture. Continue the heating for 30 minutes on the water bath and filter hot the diamide of decane-1 lO dicarboxyhc acid is deposited on cooling. Filter this off and dry the yield is 3 -1 g., m.p. 182-184°, raised to 184-185° after recrystallisation from 25 per cent, aqueous acetic add. Hydrolyse the diamide (1 mol) by refluxing for 2-5 hours with 3N potassium hydroxide (4 mols) acidify and recrystaUise the acid from 20 per cent, acetic acid. The yield of decane-1 10-dicarboxyhc acid, m.p. 127-128°, is almost quantitative. 

Method A. Cool a solution of the nitrate-free dichloride, prepared from or equivalent to 5 0 g. of palladium or platinum, in 50 ml. of water and 5 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid in a freezing mixture, and treat it with 50 ml. of formahn (40 per cent, formaldehyde) and 11 g. of the carrier (charcoal or asbestos). Stir the mixture mechanically and add a solution of 50 g. of potassium hydroxide in 50 ml. of water, keeping the temperature below 5°. When the addition is complete, raise the temperature to 60° for 15 minutes. Wash the catalyst thoroughly by decantation with water and finally with dilute acetic acid, collect on a suction filter, and wash with hot water until free from chloride or alkali. Dry at 100° and store in a desiccator. 

An alloy of sodium and potassium (NaK) is used as a heat-transfer medium. Many potassium salts are of utmost importance, including the hydroxide, nitrate, carbonate, chloride, chlorate, bromide, iodide, cyanide, sulfate, chromate, and dichromate.

Uses. Nickel nitrate is an intermediate in the manufacture of nickel catalysts, especially those that are sensitive to sulfur and therefore preclude the use of the less expensive nickel sulfate. Nickel nitrate also is an intermediate in loading active mass in nickel—alkaline batteries of the sintered plate type (see Batteries, SECONDARY cells). Typically, hot nickel nitrate symp is impregnated in the porous sintered nickel positive plates. Subsequendy, the plates are soaked in potassium hydroxide solution, whereupon nickel hydroxide [12054-48-7] precipitates within the pores of the plate. 

The cmde phthaUc anhydride is subjected to a thermal pretreatment or heat soak at atmospheric pressure to complete dehydration of traces of phthahc acid and to convert color bodies to higher boiling compounds that can be removed by distillation. The addition of chemicals during the heat soak promotes condensation reactions and shortens the time required for them. Use of potassium hydroxide and sodium nitrate, carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, or borate has been patented (30). Purification is by continuous vacuum distillation, as shown by two columns in Figure 1. The most troublesome impurity is phthahde (l(3)-isobenzofuranone), which is stmcturaHy similar to phthahc anhydride. Reactor and recovery conditions must be carefully chosen to minimize phthahde contamination (31). Phthahde [87-41-2] is also reduced by adding potassium hydroxide during the heat soak (30). 

Thallic oxide can be prepared by reaction of thallium with oxygen or hydrogen peroxide and an alkaline thallium(I) solution. However, it is more easily made from the oxidation of thaHous nitrate by chlorine ia aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. It is insoluble in water but dissolves in carboxyUc acids to give carboxylates. 

If tin and sulfur are heated, a vigorous reaction takes place with the formation of tin sulfides. At 100—400°C, hydrogen sulfide reacts with tin, forming stannous sulfide however, at ordinary temperatures no reaction occurs. Stannous sulfide also forms from the reaction of tin with an aqueous solution of sulfur dioxide. Molten tin reacts with phosphoms, forming a phosphide. Aqueous solutions of the hydroxides and carbonates of sodium and potassium, especially when warm, attack tin. Stannates are produced by the action of strong sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide solutions on tin. Oxidizing agents, eg, sodium or potassium nitrate or nitrite, are used to prevent the formation of stannites and to promote the reactions. 

Cadmium Hydroxide. Cd(OH)2 [21041-95-2] is best prepared by addition of cadmium nitrate solution to a boiling solution of sodium or potassium hydroxide. The crystals adopt the layered stmcture of Cdl2 there is contact between hydroxide ions of adjacent layers. Cd(OH)2 can be dehydrated to the oxide by gende heating to 200°C it absorbs CO2 from the air forming the basic carbonate. It is soluble ia dilute acids and solutions of ammonium ions, ferric chloride, alkah haUdes, cyanides, and thiocyanates forming complex ions. 

To a solution of 33 g. (O.S mole) of potassium hydroxide (Note 1) in 1.5 1. of distilled water in a 5-1. flask or other appropriate container fitted with a mechanical stirrer is added 80 g. (0.5 mole) of methyl hydrogen adipate (Note 2). With continuous stirring a solution of 85 g. (0.5 mole) of silver nitrate in 1 1. of distilled water is added rapidly (about IS minutes). The precipitated methyl silver adipate is collected on a Buchner funnel, washed with methanol, and dried in an oven at 50-60°. For the next step the dried silver salt is finely powdered and sieved through a 40-mesh screen. The combined yield from two such runs is, 213 g. (80%). 

Note Rhodamine B is a universal reagent that can be used on silica gel, talc, starch [5] and cellulose layers, just as on urea [1] or silver nitrate-impregnated [7] phases. Liquid paraffin-impregnated silica gel and RP layers are less suitable, since the background to the chromatographic zones is also intensely colored. It is often possible to increase the detection sensitivity by placing the plate in an atmosphere of ammonia after it has been sprayed or dipped, alternatively it can be oversprayed with sodium or potassium hydroxide solution.

Consider lead(II) hydroxide. It can be formed when solutions of lead(n) nitrate and potassium hydroxide are mixed. Its at a certain temperature is 4.2 X 1CT15. Assume volumes are additive in all cases. 

Substances which are insoluble or only partially soluble in acids are brought into solution by fusion with the appropriate reagent. The most commonly used fusion reagents, or fluxes as they are called, are anhydrous sodium carbonate, either alone or, less frequently, mixed with potassium nitrate or sodium peroxide potassium pyrosulphate, or sodium pyrosulphate sodium peroxide sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Anhydrous lithium metaborate has found favour as a flux, especially for materials containing silica 12 when the resulting fused mass is dissolved in dilute acids, no separation of silica takes place as it does when a sodium carbonate melt is similarly treated. Other advantages claimed for lithium metaborate are the following.

Carbonyl Nitric Oxides. Another group of metal-carbonyl complexes, worthy of investigation as CVD precursors, consists of the carbonyl nitric oxides. In these complexes, one (or more) CO group is replaced by NO. An example is cobalt nitrosyl tricarbonyl, CoNO(CO)3, which is a preferred precursor for the CVD of cobalt. It is a liquid with a boiling point of 78.6°C which decomposes at 66°C. It is prepared by passing NO through an aqueous solution of cobalt nitrate and potassium cyanide and potassium hydroxide. ... 

The silvering agent usually consists of two solutions, sometimes three, which are mixed immediately before use and poured on to the object to be silvered. Various recipes have been proposed (I, C. Gardner and F. A. Case, 1931). Tlie following are useful for slow silvering (R. B. Scott, J. W. Cook and F. G. Brickwedde, 1931) Solution A—50 gm silver nitrate in 21. distilled water Solution B— 90 gm potassium hydroxide in 21. distilled water Solution C—(80 gm cane sugar in 800 ml. distilled water) plus (100 ml. ethanol and 3 5 ml. nitric acid sp. gr. 1 42). 

Subcategory A encompasses the manufacture of all batteries in which cadmium is the reactive anode material. Cadmium anode batteries currently manufactured are based on nickel-cadmium, silver-cadmium, and mercury-cadmium couples (Table 32.1). The manufacture of cadmium anode batteries uses various raw materials, which comprises cadmium or cadmium salts (mainly nitrates and oxides) to produce cell cathodes nickel powder and either nickel or nickel-plated steel screen to make the electrode support structures nylon and polypropylene, for use in manufacturing the cell separators and either sodium or potassium hydroxide, for use as process chemicals and as the cell electrolyte. Cobalt salts may be added to some electrodes. Batteries of this subcategory are predominantly rechargeable and find application in calculators, cell phones, laptops, and other portable electronic devices, in addition to a variety of industrial applications.1-4 A typical example is the nickel-cadmium battery described below. 

Analytical decomposition of powdered diamond by fusion with potassium hydroxide may become explosive. This can be avoided by fusion with a potassium carbonate-sodium carbonate mixture, followed by addition of small portions of potassium nitrite or nitrate.
