The formula 12 WO g . 5 K 2 -4- 10 aq requires 81.02% W0 3 

 and 5.25% H 2 0. 



Amnionic Tungstates. — When a solution of amnionic chloride is 

 added to one of the 10:4 sodic tungstate, beautiful white talcose scales 

 are thrown down, which are but slightly soluble in cold water. After 

 washing, they may be dissolved in boiling water without evolution of 

 ammonia and recrystallized. The analyses of this salt agree fairly 

 well with the formula 



10 WO s . 4 Xa/J + 4 {10 WO, . 4 (NHJ 2 0) -4- 50 aq, 



as the following analyses show : —

Analyses (I.) and (II.) are of different preparations of the same 

 salt. When commercial ammonic tungstate (containing a little sodic 

 oxide) is dissolved in ammonia, and acetic acid is added to the filtered 

 liquid, a white slightly soluble salt is obtained which after recrystal- 

 lization has the formula 



12 WO, . 0(NH 4 ) 2 0+ 6aq.
