   The soap of soda, dissolved with heat in alcohol, gave, by cooling, crystals of the neutral elaïdate, of a silvery lustre, resembling those of the free acid, only being much finer. By dissolving the neutral elaïdate of soda in alcohol, and by decomposing it by a neutral solution of nitrate of silver, a white and bulky precipitate of elaïdate of that base was obtained.

   The alkaline elaïdates are crystallizable, and soluble in alcohol and in water; but an excess of the latter decomposes them into insoluble acid salts. The earthy and metallic elaïdates are either wholly or nearly insoluble in water, alcohol, and ether.
