Sebacic Acid → Dipotassium sebacate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 100 g of sebacic acid, 116 g of a 48% aqueous solution of caustic potash and 1171 g of water is subjected to reaction conducted in the same manner as illustrated in Example 10 to obtain an aqueous solution of potassium sebacate having a pH value of 10.1 and containing 10.1% by weight of a solid matter. To this aqueous solution is added an aqueous solution of 177 g of silver nitrate in 200 g of water to effect a double decomposition reaction in the same manner as illustrated in Example 10 whereby 195 g of silver sebacate is obtained which has a silver content of 49.8% by weight.
