Participants

Reactant 2

HCID 985Palmitic Acid

HCID 14798Sodium Hydroxide

Product 1

HCID 2735111Sodium palmitate

Procedure

then adding a quantity of sodium hydroxide as a 2M aqueous solution (for quantity see table 7) at the same temperature as the palmitic acid dispersion with stirring over a particular time (see table 7 for the time of addition) thereby producing a clear solution with a pH of about 9.2 substantially containing sodium palmitate;
