Abstract
HEAVY metal soaps with their many-sided technical and industrial applications present some unsolved problems to the chemists. One of these is the estimation of the amount of metal present in a particular soap. Until now the chemical analysis is generally used for this purpose. This method, besides being tedious, is apt to give less-accurate results, especially when the metal content is low. In the present communication some of the results of the polarography of nickel palmitate and myristate which have found a direct application in estimating the metal concentration are briefly described.
