EDULCERATE — To Wash a Saline Substance, until all the salt has been removed. This term, understood in its vulgar sense, also signifies moderation of the acidity and corrosive quality of salts, spirit, or other substances. Raymond Lully employs it more than once to express, or symbolize, the coction or digestion of the Mercury of the Philosophers to the point of fixation. 

Combustible when exposed to heat or flame can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use water, CO2, dry chemical. Potentially explosive reaction with concentrated nitric acid. Incompatible with acetanilide, alkalies, ferric salts, spirit nitrous ether, urethan. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

It should be noted that Weigel designated these materials not only as juices but also as products of plants, rather than components. Nonetheless, as chemically isolated substances were part of this class (namely, the fixed alkaline salt, spirit of wine, and essential oils), we assume that his term "product" had the same reference and meaning as component or proximate principle. ...

Drop 1 g. of sodium into 10 ml. of ethyl alcohol in a small flask provided with a small water condenser heat the mixture until all the sodium has dissolved. Cool, and add 1 g. of the ester and 0-5 ml. of water. Frequently the sodium salt of the acid will be deposited either at once or after boiling for a few minutes. If this occurs, filter oflF the solid at once, wash it with a little absolute ethyl alcohol (or absolute methylated spirit), and convert it into the p-bromophenacyl ester, p-nitro-benzyl ester or S-benzyl-tso-thiuronium salt (for experimental details, see Section 111,85). If no solid separates, continue the boiling for 30-60 minutes, boil oflF the alcohol, allow to cool, render the product just neutral to phenolphthalein with dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, convert the sodium salt present in solution into a crystalline derivative (Section 111,85), and determine its melting point. 

Add 25 g. of finely-powdered, dry acetanilide to 25 ml. of glacial acetic acid contained in a 500 ml. beaker introduce into the well-stirred mixture 92 g. (50 ml.) of concentrated sulphuric acid. The mixture becomes warm and a clear solution results. Surround the beaker with a freezing mixture of ice and salt, and stir the solution mechanically. Support a separatory funnel, containing a cold mixture of 15 -5 g. (11 ml.) of concentrated nitric acid and 12 -5 g. (7 ml.) of concentrated sulphuric acid, over the beaker. When the temperature of the solution falls to 0-2°, run in the acid mixture gradually while the temperature is maintained below 10°. After all the mixed acid has been added, remove the beaker from the freezing mixture, and allow it to stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Pour the reaction mixture on to 250 g. of crushed ice (or into 500 ml. of cold water), whereby the crude nitroacetanilide is at once precipitated. Allow to stand for 15 minutes, filter with suction on a Buchner funnel, wash it thoroughly with cold water until free from acids (test the wash water), and drain well. Recrystallise the pale yellow product from alcohol or methylated spirit (see Section IV,12 for experimental details), filter at the pump, wash with a httle cold alcohol, and dry in the air upon filter paper. [The yellow o-nitroacetanihde remains in the filtrate.] The yield of p-nitroacetanihde, a colourless crystalline sohd of m.p. 214°, is 20 g. 

Dissolve 34 g. of o-nitroaniline in a warm mixture of 63 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 63 ml. of water contained in a 600 ml. beaker. Place the beaker in an ice - salt bath, and cool to 0-5° whilst stirring mechanically the o-nitroaniline hydrochloride will separate in a finely-divided crystalline form. Add a cold solution of 18 g. of sodium nitrite in 40 ml. of water slowly and with stirring to an end point with potassium iodide - starch paper do not allow the temperature to rise above 5-7 . Introduce, whilst stirring vigorously, a solution of 40 g. of sodium borofluoride in 80 ml. of water. Stir for a further 10 minutes, and filter the solid diazonium fluoborate with suction on a sintered glass funnel. Wash it immediately once with 25 ml. of cold 5 per cent, sodium borofluoride solution, then twice with 15 ml. portions of rectified (or methylated) spirit and several times with ether in each washing stir... 

P-Hydroxy-a-naphthaldehyde, Equip a 1 litre three-necked flask with a separatory funnel, a mercury-sealed mechanical stirrer, and a long (double surface) reflux condenser. Place 50 g. of p-naphthol and 150 ml. of rectified spirit in the flask, start the stirrer, and rapidly add a solution of 100 g. of sodium hydroxide in 210 ml. of water. Heat the resulting solution to 70-80° on a water bath, and place 62 g. (42 ml.) of pure chloroform in the separatory funnel. Introduce the chloroform dropwise until reaction commences (indicated by the formation of a deep blue colour), remove the water bath, and continue the addition of the chloroform at such a rate that the mixture refluxes gently (about 1 5 hours). The sodium salt of the phenolic aldehyde separates near the end of the addition. Continue the stirring for a further 1 hour. Distil off the excess of chloroform and alcohol on a water bath use the apparatus shown in Fig. II, 41, 1, but retain the stirrer in the central aperture. Treat the residue, with stirring, dropwise with concentrated hydrochloric acid until... 

In a 500 ml. Pyrex round-bottomed flask, provided with a reflux condenser, place a mixture of 40 g. of freshly-distUled phenylhydrazine (Section IV.89) and 14 g. of urea (previously dried for 3 hours at 100°). Immerse the flask in an oil bath at 155°. After about 10 minutes the urea commences to dissolve accompanied by foaming due to evolution of ammonia the gas evolution slackens after about 1 hour. Remove the flask from the oil bath after 135 minutes, allow it to cool for 3 minutes, and then add 250 ml. of rectified spirit to the hot golden-yellow oil some diphenylcarbazide will crystallise out. Heat under reflux for about 15 minutes to dissolve the diphenylcarbazide, filter through a hot water funnel or a pre-heated Buchner fuimel, and cool the alcoholic solution rapidly in a bath of ice and salt. After 30 minutes, filter the white crystals at the pump, drain well, and wash twice with a little ether. Dry upon filter paper in the air. The yield of diphenylcarbazide, m.p. 171 °, is 34 g. A further 7 g. may be obtained by concentrating the filtrate under reduced pressure. The compound may be recrystallised from alcohol or from glacial acetic acid. 

Method 1. Dissolve 76 g. of thiourea in 200 ml. of warm water in a 750 ml. or 1 litre round-bottomed flask. Dilute the solution with 135 ml. of rectified spirit and add 126-5 g. of benzyl chloride. Heat the mixture under reflux on a water bath until the benzyl chloride dissolves (about 15 minutes) and for a further 30 minutes taking care that the mixture is well shaken from time to time. Cool the mixture in ice there is a tendency to supersaturation so that it is advisable to stir (or shake) the cold solution vigorously, when the substance crystallises suddenly. Filter off the sohd at the pump. Evaporate the filtrate to about half bulk in order to recover a further small quantity of product. Dry the compound upon filter paper in the air. The yield of hydrochloric acid filter off the sohd which separates on cooling. Concentrate the filtrate to recover a further small quantity. The yield of recrystalhsed salt, m.p. 175° is 185 g. some of the dimorphic form, m.p. 150°, may also separate. 

Sodium salt of eosin. Grind together in a mortar 12 g. of eosin with 2 g. of anhydrous sodium carbonate. Transfer the mixture to a 250 ml. conical flask, moisten it with 10 ml. of rectified spirit, add 10 ml. of water and warm on a water bath, with stirring, until the evolution of carbon dioxide ceases. Add 50 ml. of ethyl alcohol, heat to boiling, and filter the hot solution through a fluted filter paper (supported in a short-stemmed funnel) into a beaker, and allow to stand overnight. Filter ofiF the browiiish-red crystals of sodium eosin, wash with a little alcohol, and dry. The yield is 10 g. 

In the days of alchemy and the phlogiston theory, no system of nomenclature that would be considered logical ia the 1990s was possible. Names were not based on composition, but on historical association, eg, Glauber s salt for sodium sulfate decahydrate and Epsom salt for magnesium sulfate physical characteristics, eg, spirit of wiae for ethanol, oil of vitriol for sulfuric acid, butter of antimony for antimony trichloride, Hver of sulfur for potassium sulfide, and cream of tartar for potassium hydrogen tartrate or physiological behavior, eg, caustic soda for sodium hydroxide. Some of these common or trivial names persist, especially ia the nonchemical Hterature. Such names were a necessity at the time they were iatroduced because the concept of molecular stmcture had not been developed, and even elemental composition was incomplete or iadeterminate for many substances. 

Anhydrous stannous chloride, a water-soluble white soHd, is the most economical source of stannous tin and is especially important in redox and plating reactions. Preparation of the anhydrous salt may be by direct reaction of chlorine and molten tin, heating tin in hydrogen chloride gas, or reducing stannic chloride solution with tin metal, followed by dehydration. It is soluble in a number of organic solvents (g/100 g solvent at 23°C) acetone 42.7, ethyl alcohol 54.4, methyl isobutyl carbinol 10.45, isopropyl alcohol 9.61, methyl ethyl ketone 9.43 isoamyl acetate 3.76, diethyl ether 0.49, and mineral spirits 0.03 it is insoluble in petroleum naphtha and xylene (2).
