Sodium Hydroxide → Sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (17.50 g) was placed in a graduated cylinder and diluted with water (30 ml). The trifluoromethanesulfonic acid was neutralized with 10% sodium hydroxide to a pH of 7.2. The solution was transferred to a rotary evaporator, evaporated to dryness and placed under a vacuum overnight (20.2 g). The sample was collected, ground to a fine powder in mortar and pestle and dried to a constant weight (19.18 g).
