Reaction Steps

A 3N solution of lithium citrate was prepared by slowly adding 384.3 grams of Miles Laboratories 50% w/w citric acid to a stirred aqueous slurry of reagent grade lithium carbonate and, after complete additional of the citric acid, adding sufficient water to bring the total volume to one liter. 3N solutions of lithium neutralized lactic acid, oxalic acid, and tricarballylic acid were similarly prepared.
