potassium oleate is a solid or liquid potassium salt of oleic acid, a long-chained fatty acid. It is colorless when pure, but becomes brownish upon exposure to light and air. Consumption of dietary oils rich in oleic acid is associated with reduced levels of harmful low-density lipoproteins and increased levels… Continue reading
Lead carbonate is a white insoluble compound that can be broken down into smaller pieces using a chemical process called hydrolysis. This is done by placing the carbonate in an acidic solution, which allows the lead to slowly dissolve into ions. When the ions are dissolved, they can then be… Continue reading
Iron is one of the most important metals in the world, accounting for about 90 percent of all metal production. You can find it in engine blocks, pipes, fittings, cutlery, the hulls of ships and cars, and much more. It’s even in our bodies, with about four grams inside each… Continue reading
potassium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate is an inorganic compound consisting of the double salt (also called alum) of aluminum and potassium, with the sulfate group attached to two post-transition metal ions. It is a member of the alum family of compounds, which also includes aluminum ammonium sulfate and aluminum sodium sulfate…. Continue reading
potassium thiocyanate ph is the potassium salt of thiocyanic acid with molecular formula KSCN. It is a white, deliquescent and hygroscopic crystalline substance. It is easily soluble in water and alcohol. It has no odor and a cool, saline taste. Potassium thiocyanate is used in printing and dyeing textiles, freezing… Continue reading
magnesium dichromate is a yellow, water-soluble salt that can be found in minerals such as brucite, carnallite, dolomite, magnesite and olivine. Commercially, it is used in the creation of strong and lightweight aluminum-magnesium alloys for numerous industrial applications. American Elements produces magnesium dichromate to many standard grades when applicable, including… Continue reading
is lead carbonate soluble in water? The elemental metal lead does not dissolve in water at normal conditions, but it can bind to the water molecule and form insoluble lead compounds. These insoluble compounds can then bind to other ions that are soluble in water and form stable lead salts…. Continue reading
Silver has been used throughout history to benefit mankind. Silver in powdered form was added to the first bath of a newborn as protection from a harsh world and was put into drinks to keep them fresh longer. Silver was also used by pioneers who put silver coins in milk… Continue reading
Cobalt(II) nitrate, also known as cobalt nitrite, is an inorganic compound with the formula Co(NO3)2 2H2O. It is a red crystal that dissolves in water and most organic solvents. It is a member of the group of inorganic compounds called transition metal nitrates, which are compounds in which a cobalt… Continue reading
In the present invention, a process for preparing a zinc stearate dispersion is provided. The process is less strenuous on equipment than a size-reducing homogenization method and provides a dispersion with a particle size distribution comparable to that of a stearate powder. The in-situ process also saves time and money… Continue reading
