Potassium salts, precipitation

This salt mixture is dissolved in 270 cc. of water, and the acid potassium salt precipitated by adding 8 cc. of concentrated sulfuric acid in 30 cc. of water. After standing for three hours, or overnight, the mixture is filtered with suction (Note 3). The acid salt is then dissolved in 240 cc. of water to which 60 cc. of concentrated sulfuric acid has been added, and the solution extracted with five 100-cc. portions of ether. The combined ether solutions are evaporated to dryness on a steam bath,... 

Addition of potassium salts precipitates SDS nearly quantitatively, but there is the risk of co-precipitation proteins. 

At higher calciiun and reagent concentrations, the analogue potassium salt precipitates. 

According to Nemst equation the potential of calomel electrode is dependent on chloride ions activity (concentration). In practice, three cases are encountered normal calomel electrode (with KCl solution of concentration 1 mol dm ), 0.1 normal calomel electrode (with KCl solution concentration 0.1 mol dm ), and most often used saturated calomel electrode (with saturated KCl solution and the presence of KCl crystals), abbreviated as the saturated calomel electrode , SCE. A version with saturated NaCl solution ( sodium chloride saturated calomel electrode , SSCE) is also widely used in solution, where risk of a potassium salt precipitation occurs, e.g., in perchlorate ions containing solutions. 

CH2CI-CO-CH3. Colourless lachrymatory liquid b.p. 119°C. Manufactured by treating propanone with bleaching powder or chlorine. It is used as a tear gas and is usually mixed with the more potent bromoacetone. chloro acids Complex chloroanions are formed by most elements of the periodic table by solution of oxides or chlorides in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Potassium salts are precipitated from solution when potassium chloride is added to a solution of the chloro acid, the free acids are generally unstable. 

SNG Substitute natural gas. soaps Sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids, particularly stearic, palmitic and oleic acids. Animal and vegetable oils and fats, from which soaps are prepared, consist essentially of the glyceryl esters of these acids. In soap manufacture the oil or fat is heated with dilute NaOH (less frequently KOH) solution in large vats. When hydrolysis is complete the soap is salted out , or precipitated from solution by addition of NaCl. The soap is then treated, as required, with perfumes, etc. and made into tablets. 

Copper(II) ions in aqueous solution are readily obtained from any copper-containing material. The reactions with (a) alkali (p. 430), (b) concentrated ammonia (p 413) and (c) hydrogen sulphide (p. 413) provide satisfactory tests for aqueous copper(II) ions. A further test is to add a hexacyanoferrate(II) (usually as the potassium salt) when a chocolate-brown precipitate of copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) is obtained ... 

Sodium dichromate is used instead of the potassium salt because it is far more soluble in water, and is not precipitated from its aqueous solution by addition of the ethanol. It is also cheaper than the potassium salt, but has the disadvantage of being deliquescent. 

Collidine 2i5 d carboxylic acid. Boil a mixture of 5 g. of the ester (II) and 50 ml. of 15% ethanolic potash under reflux for 30 minutes. The dipotassium salt crystallises during the boiling and during the subsequent cooling. Filter off the potassium salt at the pump and wash it with a small quantity of ethanol. Dilute the filtrate with about an equal volume of ether to precipitate a further small crop of the salt. Yield of combined crops 4 5 g. from 5 g. of the estei (I). 

Solid Compounds. The tripositive actinide ions resemble tripositive lanthanide ions in their precipitation reactions (13,14,17,20,22). Tetrapositive actinide ions are similar in this respect to Ce . Thus the duorides and oxalates are insoluble in acid solution, and the nitrates, sulfates, perchlorates, and sulfides are all soluble. The tetrapositive actinide ions form insoluble iodates and various substituted arsenates even in rather strongly acid solution. The MO2 actinide ions can be precipitated as the potassium salt from strong carbonate solutions. In solutions containing a high concentration of sodium and acetate ions, the actinide ions form the insoluble crystalline salt NaM02(02CCH2)3. The hydroxides of all four ionic types are insoluble ... 

The potassium salts are the most soluble and other salts usually are precipitated by addition of the appropriate metal chloride to a solution of the corresponding potassium salt. The metaniobates, MNbO, and orthoniobates, MNbO, generally are prepared by fusion of the anhydrous mixed oxides. The metaniobates crystallize with the perovskite stmeture and are ferroelectric (131) (see Ferroelectrics). The orthoniobates are narrow band-gap semiconductors (qv) (132). 

In earlier procedures, the ReO anion was precipitated from water as the relatively insoluble potassium salt. Reduction of KReO with hydrogen gas gives rhenium metal, but the metal is contaminated with ca 0.4 wt % potassium that cannot be separated easily. Although suitable for some purposes, rhenium formed from KReO is found to be unsatisfactory in appHcations such as those for use in filaments in mass spectrometer systems. The route involving NH ReO avoids this problem. 

Seawater. Salt extraction from seawater is done by most countries having coastlines and weather conducive to evaporation. Seawater is evaporated in a series of concentration ponds until it is saturated with sodium chloride. At this point over 90% of the water has been removed, and some impurities, CaSO and CaCO, have been crystallized. This brine, now saturated in NaCl, is transferred to crystallizer ponds where salt precipitates on the floor of the pond as more water evaporates. Brine left over from the salt crystallizers is called bitterns because of its bitter taste. Bitterns is high in MgCl2, MgSO, and KCl. In some isolated cases, eg, India and China, magnesium and potassium compounds have been commercially extracted, but these represent only a small fraction of total world production. 

With substances that give up an electron more readily than aromatic hydrocarbons, such as potassium, nickel carbonyl, cyanide ion, or iodide ion, complete transfer of an electron occurs and the TCNE anion radical is formed (11). Potassium iodide is a particulady usefiil reagent for this purpose, and merely dissolving potassium iodide in an acetonitrile solution of TCNE causes the potassium salt of the anion radical to precipitate as bronze-colored crystals. 

Anthraquinone-l,5-disulfonic acid [117-14-6] (44), and anthraquinone-1, 8-disulfonic acid [82-48-4] (45) are produced from anthraquinone by disulfonation in oleum a higher concentration of SO than that used for 1-sulfonic acid is employed in the presence of mercury catalyst (64,65). After completion of sulfonation, 1,5-disulfonic acid is precipitated by addition of dilute sulfuric acid and separated. After clarification with charcoal, 1,5-disulfonic acid is precipitated as the sodium salt by addition of sodium chloride. The 1,8-disulfonic acid is isolated as the potassium salt from the sulfuric acid mother hquor by addition of potassium chloride solution. 

The calcium salt is thereby converted into the soluble potassium salt and calcium carbonate is precipitated. The latter is removed by filtration, as before, and the filtrate concentrated on the water-bath to a small volume until a drop of the liquid, removed on the end of a glass rod, crystallises at once on cooling. 

The acetone was removed by evaporation in vacuo, and about 750 ml of water were added to dissolve the resulting residue. The solution was filtered. The potassium salt of N-p-ace-tylphenylsuifonyl-N -cyclohexylurea formed in the above reaction, being water-soluble, passed into the filtrate. Acidification of the filtrate with 6 N aqueous hydrochloric acid caused the precipitation of N-p-acetylphenylsulfonyl-N -cyclohexylurea which was collected by filtration. Recrystallization of the filter cake from 90% aqueous ethanol yielded purified N-p-acetylphenylsulfonyl-N -cyclohexylurea melting at about 188°-190°C. 

To 1,400 ml of an approximately 50% water/triglycol solution of the potassium salt of cheno-deoxycholic acid, obtained by the Wolff-Kishner reduction (using hydrazine hydrate and potassium hydroxide) from 50 g of 7-acetyl-12-ketochenodeoxycholic acid, 220 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid is added to bring the pH to 2. The solution is stirred and the crude cheno-deoxycholic acid precipitates. The precipitate is recovered and dried to constant weight at about 60°C. About 36 g of the crude chenodeoxycholic acid, melting in the range of 126°-129°C, is obtained. 

At the end of this time the crystalline precipitate which had formed was filtered off with suction, washed with diethyl ether, and dried in a vacuum desiccator. The product comprised essentially the potassium enolate of ethyl fluoromalonaldehydate (alternative nomenclature, the potassium salt of fluoromalonaldehydic acid ethyl ester). 

The particle size of precipitated potassium heptafluorotantalate is one of the more important parameters. In order to achieve a certain particle size, potassium salts are added to the hot tantalum strip solution as a hot solution. The mixture is cooled down at a specific rate in order to enable the precipitation and ciystallization of K-salt in the form of small, individual crystals. 

I. Sodium tetraphenylborate Na+ [B(C6H5)4] . This is a useful reagent for potassium the solubility product of the potassium salt is 2.25 x 10 8. Precipitation is usually effected at pH 2 or at pH 6.5 in the presence of EDTA. Rubidium and caesium interfere ammonium ion forms a slightly soluble salt and can be removed by ignition mercury(II) interferes in acid solution but does not do so at pH 6.5 in the presence of EDTA. 

Rh(N02)6 is of some importance in the traditional extraction of rhodium. Impure RI1CI3 is neutralized and treated with NaN02 Na3Rh(N02)6 is soluble under these conditions (though base metals precipitate), but when ammonium chloride is added, (NH4)3Rh(N02)6 precipitates. The potassium salt is similarly relatively insoluble. All these salts are believed...
