WE have been making a study of the crystal structure of d-tartaric acid by X-ray analysis. This is a classical substance which presents some little difficulty in complete analysis owing to its low ...
The acidic dissociation constants of optically active substances may be estimated from the change of rotatory power produced by alkali hydroxide. The present communication deals with tartaric acid.
Common examples of acids include acetic acid (in vinegar), sulfuric acid (used in car batteries), and tartaric acid (used in baking). As these three examples show, acids can be solutions ...
Upon addition of hydrogen peroxide to Rochelle's salt (sodium potassium tartrate), the hydrogen peroxide decomposes and tartaric acid is oxidized. This reaction proceeds very slowly at room ...
