Solubility in organic acids

CS forms water-soluble salts with inorganic and organic acids including glyoxylate, pyruvate, tartarate, malate, malonate, citrate, acetate, lactate, glycolate and ascorbate. Natural CS showed more solubility in organic acids when the pH of the solution was less than 6.5. Facile water-miscible salts of CS are formed by neutralisation with acids such as lactic, hydrochloric, acetic or formic.

The lower members of the series are liquids soluble in water and volatile in steam. As the number of carbon atoms in the molecule increases, the m.p. and b.p. rise and the acids become less soluble in water and less volatile. The higher fatty acids are solids, insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. 

Tin IV) chloride, SnCU, stannic chloride. M.p. — 33" C, b.p. 1I4°C. Colourless fuming liquid (Sn plus CI2) hydrolysed in water but forms SnCl4,5H20 and [SnCl p" from acid solutions, soluble in organic solvents. Used as a mordant. 

Reaction with alcoholic silver nitrate. To carry out the test, treat 2 ml. of a 2 per cent, solution of silver nitrate in alcohol with 1 or 2 drops (or 0 05 g.) of the compound. If no appreciable precipitate appears at the laboratory temperature, heat on a boiling water bath for several minutes. Some organic acids give insoluble silver salts, hence it is advisable to add 1 drop of dilute (5 per cent.) nitric acid at the conclusion of the test most silver salts of organic acids are soluble in nitric acid. 

In general, the reactions of the perfluoro acids are similar to those of the hydrocarbon acids. Salts are formed with the ease expected of strong acids. The metal salts are all water soluble and much more soluble in organic solvents than the salts of the corresponding hydrocarbon acids. Esterification takes place readily with primary and secondary alcohols. Acid anhydrides can be prepared by distillation of the acids from phosphoms pentoxide. The amides are readily prepared by the ammonolysis of the acid haUdes, anhydrides, or esters and can be dehydrated to the corresponding nitriles (31). 

Mercuric Oxide. Mercuric oxide[21908-53-2] HgO, is a red or yellow water-insoluble powder, rhombic in shape when viewed microscopically. The color and shade depend on particle size. The finer particles (< 5 -lm) appear yellow the coarser particles (> 8 -lm) appear redder. The product is soluble in most acids, organic and inorganic, but the yellow form, which has greater surface area, is more reactive and dissolves more readily. Mercuric oxide decomposes at 332°C and has a high (11.1) specific gravity. 

Naphthenic acids are viscous hquids, with phenohc and sulfur impurities present that are largely responsible for their characteristic odor. Their colors range from pale yeUow to dark amber. An odor develops upon storage of the refined acids. Naphthenic acids have wide boiling point ranges at high temperatures (250—350°C). They are completely soluble in organic solvents and oils but are insoluble (<50 mg/L) in water. Commercial naphthenic acids are available in... 

Chemical Properties The formation of salts with acids is the most characteristic reaction of amines. Since the amines are soluble in organic solvents and the salts are usually not soluble, acidic products can be conveniendy separated by the reaction with an amine, the unshared electron pair on the amine nitrogen acting as proton acceptor. Amines are good nucleophiles reactions of amines at the nitrogen atom have as a first step the formation of a bond with the unshared electron pair of nitrogen, eg, reactions with acid anhydrides, haUdes, and esters, with carbon dioxide or carbon disulfide, and with isocyanic or isothiocyanic acid derivatives. 

The replacement of the hydrogen of the methylo1 compound with an alkyl group renders the compound much more soluble in organic solvents and more stable. This reaction is also cataly2ed by acids and usually carried out in the presence of considerable excess alcohol to suppress the competing self-condensation reaction. After neutrali2ation of the acid catalyst, the excess alcohol may be stripped or left as a solvent for the amino resin. 

The extraction of metal ions depends on the chelating ability of 8-hydroxyquinoline. Modification of the stmcture can improve its properties, eg, higher solubility in organic solvents (91). The extraction of nickel, cobalt, copper, and zinc from acid sulfates has been accompHshed using 8-hydroxyquinohne in an immiscible solvent (92). In the presence of oximes, halo-substituted 8-hydroxyquinolines have been used to recover copper and zinc from aqueous solutions (93). Dilute solutions of heavy metals such as mercury, ca dmium, copper, lead, and zinc can be purified using quinoline-8-carboxyhc acid adsorbed on various substrates (94). 

Perhalates. Whereas silver perchlorate [7783-93-9] AgClO, and silver periodate [15606-77-6] AglO, are well known, silver perbromate [54494-97-2] AgBrO, has more recendy been described (18). Silver perchlorate is prepared from silver oxide and perchloric acid, or by treating silver sulfate with barium perchlorate. Silver perchlorate is one of the few silver salts that is appreciably soluble in organic solvents such as glycerol, toluene, and chlorobenzene. 

Solubility. One of PVP s more outstanding attributes is its solubility in both water and a variety of organic solvents. PVP is soluble in alcohols, acids, ethyl lactate, chlorinated hydrocarbons, amines, glycols, lactams, and nitroparaffins. SolubiUty means a minimum of 10 wt % PVP dissolves at room temperature (moisture content of PVP can influence solubiUty). PVP is insoluble in hydrocarbons, ethers, ethyl acetate, j -butyl-4-acetate, 2-butanone, acetone, cyclohexanone, and chlorobenzene. Both solvent polarity and H-bonding strongly influence solubiUty (77). 

Zinc chloride melts at 275°C, bods at 720°C, and is stable in the vapor phase up to 900°C. It is very hygroscopic, extremely water-soluble, and soluble in organic Hquids such as alcohols, esters, ketones, ethers, amides, and nitrides. Hydrates with 1, 1.5, 2.5, 3, and 4 molecules of water have been identified and great care must be exercised to avoid hydration of the anhydrous form. Aqueous solutions of zinc chloride are acidic (pH = 1.0 for 6 M) and, when partially neutralized, can form slightly soluble basic chlorides, eg, ZnCl2 4Zn(OH)2 [11073-22-6] and Zn(OH)Cl [14031-59-5]. Many other basic chlorides have been reported (58). 

In general, the tetracyclines are yellow crystalline compounds that have amphoteric properties (Fig. 2) (15). They are soluble in both aqueous acid and aqueous base. The acid salts tend to be soluble in organic solvents such as 1-butanol, dioxane, and 2-ethoxyethanol In fact, 1-butanol is used to extract the salts from aqueous solution. 

Gas turbine fuels can contain natural surfactants if the cmde fraction is high in organic acids, eg, naphthenic (cycloparaffinic) acids of 200—400 mol wt. These acids readily form salts that are water-soluble and surface-active. Older treating processes for sulfur removal can leave sulfonate residues which are even more powerful surfactants. Refineries have installed processes for surfactant removal. Clay beds to adsorb these trace materials are widely used, and salt towers to reduce water levels also remove water-soluble surfactants. In the field, clay filters designed as cartridges mounted in vertical vessels are also used extensively to remove surfactants picked up in fuel pipelines, in contaminated tankers, or in barges. 

Boron tribromide [10294-33A], BBr, is used in the manufacture of diborane and in the production of ultra high purity boron (see Boron, ELEMENTAL BoRON COMPOUNDS). Anhydrous aluminum bromide [7727-15-3], AIBr., is used as an acid catalyst in organic syntheses where it is more reactive and more soluble in organic solvents than AlCl. Tballium bromide [7789AOA], TlBr, is claimed as a component in radiographic image conversion panels (39). 

Cobalt(Il) dicobalt(Ill) tetroxide [1308-06-17, Co O, is a black cubic crystalline material containing about 72% cobalt. It is prepared by oxidation of cobalt metal at temperatures below 900°C or by pyrolysis in air of cobalt salts, usually the nitrate or chloride. The mixed valence oxide is insoluble in water and organic solvents and only partially soluble in mineral acids. Complete solubiUty can be effected by dissolution in acids under reducing conditions. It is used in enamels, semiconductors, and grinding wheels. Both oxides adsorb molecular oxygen at room temperatures.
