A colorless crystalline substance in the form of flakes, odorless, has a layered triclinic lattice, in which the acid molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds in flat layers, the layers are connected by intermolecular bonds. Weak acid, sparingly soluble in cold water, preferably in the hot than I use to clean it (the solubility in grams per 100 g of H₂O: 2,66 at 0 °C and 39.7 at 100 °C). In mineral acids soluble worse than in water and in salt solutions better. Solubility in ethanol 5,56 g, 28 g of glycerol, ether 0,0078 g in 100 ml. of Boric acid is soluble in alcohol, acetone, dioxane, pyridine. Practically insoluble in ether.
Pharmacological action:
