Summary
-
(1)
The solubility-composition isotherm of mixtures of active and inactive camphor carboxylic acid in water at 30°C. has been determined.
-
(2)
The isotherm consists of three curves with two isothermal invariant points indicating the inactive acid to be adl-compound.
-
(3)
The melting point-composition curves of mixtures of active and inactive camphorcarboxylic acids have also been determined.
-
(4)
The curve shows two well pronounced minima (eutecti) showing that the inactive acid is adl-compound, in conformity with the solubility results.
