✦ Synopsis

more characteristic

for many oils than some of the other values usually determined.

From a study of the lead salt-ether method for making this separation the authors have developed several modifications which it is believed increase the accuracy of the results.

This method is based on the solubility of the lead salts of the liquid unsaturated acids, oleic, lineollic, linolenic, and clupanodonic, in ether, in which the lead salts of the solid saturated acids, myristic, palmitic, stearic, arachidic, lingqoceric, etc., are practically insoluble.

Satisfactory results cannot be obtained with cocoanut, palm kernel and similar oils which contain lauric, capric, caprylic and caproic acids because the lead salts of these acids are appreciably soluble in ether.
