Other Experimental
Soln is neutral to litmus paper;Does not lose its water on drying without some decomp;Stable in air. Loses water at 120 °C.;Calcium gluconate is decomposed by dilute mineral acids into gluconic acid and the calcium salt of the mineral acid used. It is precipitated from its aqueous solution by the addition of alcohol.
Stability
Stable. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
Storage Conditions
