Procedure

The potassium octoate was prepared by stirring 5.76 g of octanoic acid in 2 g of water and neutralizing with 5.00 g of aqueous potassium hydroxide (45%) diluted with 3 g of water. A waxy solid formed in the flask which was dissolved by adding about 15 ml of ethanol. The total solution was evaporated on a watch glass on a steam bath under a flow of nitrogen to give 7.2 g white solid.
