A subacetate of lead is formed by digesting a cold solution of uncrystallized acetate, over litharge, with frequent agitation. |
After adding the solution of subacetate of lead the flask must be gently shaken, so as to mix it with the sugar solution. |
This process was modified by Lassen, who precipitated the aqueous solution with the subacetate of lead. |
Subacetate of Copper, subchloride, and Carbonate, all act very similarly to the sulphate when given in large doses. |
In such case, before making up to the mark, a saturated solution of subacetate of lead is added. |
