_a._ From ACETATE OF LEAD:--
1. Acetate of lead (dried), 5 parts; and sulphate of iron (gently
calcined), 2 parts; are separately powdered; and after thorough mixture,
carefully distilled, by the heat of a sand bath, into a well-cooled
receiver. An economical process for a strong acid, under certain
circumstances; but one now seldom adopted.
2. (Bardollier's Strong Acetous acid.) Dried acetate of lead, 10 oz.;
calcined green vitriol, 12 oz.; as the last.
_b._ From the ACETATES OF COPPER:--By substituting acetate or diacetate of
copper, in equiv. proportions, or better with excess of the sulphate.
Seldom used.
_c._ From ACETATE OF POTASH, as the last.
