DESCRIPTION
Folic Acid occurs as yellow or yellow-orange crystals or crystalline powder. About 1.6 mg dissolves in 1 mL of water. It is insoluble in acetone, in alcohol, in chloroform, and in ether, but dissolves in solutions of alkali hydroxides and carbonates. The pH of a suspension of 1 g in 10 mL of water is between 4.0 and 4.8.
