Summary
-
1.
The solubility composition isotherms of camphoric acids in water at 25° C., 45° C. and at the boiling points of the solutions have been determined. In each case three curves have been obtained showing that the racemic form is a truedl-compound at these temperatures.
-
2.
The results obtained by the solubility method are in agreement with those already obtained from melting point data.
-
3.
The temperature of transition of racemic camphoric acid from the compound into the mixture of optically active and opposite forms has been discussed.
