2.2 Compounds soluble in water but insoluble in ether
These compounds with the exception of salts are usually also soluble in dilute alkali and acid. The behaviour of salts to alkaline or acidic solvents may be informative. Thus, with a salt of a water-soluble base, the characteristic odour of an amine is usually apparent when it is treated with dilute alkali: likewise, the salt of a water-soluble, weak acid is decomposed by dilute hydrochloric acid or by concentrated sulphuric acid. The water-soluble salt of a water-insoluble salt of a water-insoluble acid or base will give a precipitate of either the free acid or the base when treated with dilute acid or dilute alkali. The salts of sulphonic acids and of quaternary bases are unaffected by dilute sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid.1.2 Detection of Nitrogen, Halogens and Sulphurl
