Sulfonic acid + caustic soda neutralization
Dear friends,
I’m trying to neutralize sulfonic acid 96% (4,4KG) with 50% caustic soda solution (1,20KG) and i got a yellowish paste as result, so everything went well, after PH test it appears that sulfonic acid is fully neutralized. Now i would like to know what is the percentage of active matter in this resulting paste, is it 96% ?
Thank you in advance, and sorry if i did mistakes french is my main language.
