Further Studies on Acetic Acid—Acetate Solutions

Anhydrous Acetic Acid as Nonaqueous Solvent

“…Careful reinvestigation of the behavior of nickel and cobalt acetates in acetic acid by Tappmeyer and Davidson 6 0 showed that earlier results on the solubilities of these salts 56 were in error and that the actual solubilities were much lower (Table V I I I ) . T h e high results were due to the tendencies of the solution to form highly supersaturated solutions and the very slow rate at which the equilibrium was attained between the hemisolvates M n ( O A c ) a · 1 /2HOAc and their saturated solutions.…”
