Examples

“The soap of soda, dissolved with heat in alcohol, gave, by cooling, crystals of the neutral elaïdate, of a silvery lustre, resembling those of the free acid, only being much finer. By dissolving the neutral elaïdate of soda in alcohol, and by decomposing it by a neutral solution of nitrate of silver, a white and bulky precipitate of elaïdate of that base was obtained.”

“The alkaline elaïdates are crystallizable, and soluble in alcohol and in water; but an excess of the latter decomposes them into insoluble acid salts. The earthy and metallic elaïdates are either wholly or nearly insoluble in water, alcohol, and ether.”

“All the neutral elaïdates are insoluble in water, only the alkaline salts containing excess of alkali being soluble.”
