The tri-lead-dioxy-diacetate Pb (0211302)2 • 2 PbO . 4 H2O has beenisolated previously and its formula, with respect to the two solidcomponents, correctly ascertained. It has been hitherto describedas an amorphous solid, and in fact, as it usually occiuS it has thatappearance. Nevertheless, by slow evaporation of its clear solu- 1 For nomenclature, see Hoflfman, Dictionary of Inorganic Compounds, 1, p. Fig. I.—Isothermal equilibrium at 25° The curves AB, BC, CD, and DE represent the composition of the solution in equilibrium with the respec-tive solid phases. The area ABCDE encloses the region of unsaturated solutions. Note the great increaseof solubility of the neutral acetate in basic solutions, the high solubility and limited range of stability of themonoxy acetate, and the very great range of stability of the dioxy acetate.
