This salt slowly absorbs moisture from the air and deliquesces : 
over sulphuric acid, the crystals retain their form and constitution 
any length of time. It tastes sour, and slightly but positively 
stiptic ; reacts acid: dissolves readily in water ; in hot spirits of 
wine, and slightly in absolute alcohol.
