ET = ergotamine tartarate, the typical salt
- corobo 6y agoIt's been a while since I've done chemistry- does typical mean something in the context of chemistry? If someone asked me what the typical salt was I'd say table salt
- gallexme 6y agoTypical cause that's the end result of most commonly used mass synthesis Lsd is also exclusively sold as tartrate
- jschwartzi 6y agoOrganic chemicals are often “salted” to cause them to precipitate out of the solution they’re synthesized in. It’s a salt in the chemical sense, but not in the culinary sense.
- kerkeslager 6y agoThe way I learned it, if you mix an acid and a base, you get a salt and water. Table salt (NaCl) is the result of mixing hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH): HCl + NaOH -> HOH (water) + NaCl But if you mix a different acid and a different base, you'll get a different salt, for example if you mix sulphuric acid and calcium hydroxide, you get calcium sulfate: H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 -> 2(HOH) + CaSO4 Calcium sulfate is just a different salt.
