Double salts are
salts containing more than one
cation or
anion, and are obtained by combination of two different salts which were crystallized in the same regular ionic lattice. salts
are salts containing more than one cation or anion, and are obtained by combination of two different salts which were crystallized in the same regular ionic lattice. Examples of double salts include alums (with the general formula MIMIII[SO4]2•12H2O) or Tutton salts (with the general formula [MI]2MII[SO4]2•6H2O). Other examples are potassium sodium tartrate and bromlite.
