Manganese sulfate tetrahydrate → manganese (II) dodecylbenzenesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 200 ml beaker, 1.7 g of manganese (II) sulfate tetrahydrate and 30 ml of water were charged and the resultant mixture was heated to 85° C. and stirred until manganese (II) sulfate tetrahydrate was dissolved. Then, to the resultant solution, 7.0 g of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and 100 ml of water were added and the resultant mixture was heated at 85° C. for 10 minutes to dissolve sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate. The sample in the 200 ml beaker was transferred into a 300 ml beaker and into the 300 ml beaker, furthermore, 70 ml of water was charged to precipitate a light pink color crystal. By filtration, the crystal was separated to obtain manganese (II) dodecylbenzenesulfonate ((DBS)2Mn).
