A salt formed by crystallization from a mixed solution of an equivalent number of two or more

certain salts is called double salt. When a liquid is cooled, the translation movement of molecules
becomes smaller and the attraction of the molecules increases until after crystallizing the molecule has a
certain position in the crystal. The heat formed in crystallization is called crystallization heat. During the
crystallization the equilibrium increases and will drop again when the crystallization is complete. Double
salt is salt which in its crystal lattice contains two cations which are different from certain proportions.
Multiple salts have two different cations in the shape of the crystal. The formation process of double
salts occurs when two salts crystallize together with a ratio of certain molecules. The salts have their
own structure and do not have to be the same as the component's salt structure. One example is the
synthesis of ammonium copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate.

The salts of all acids are known; usually colorless, crystalline, ionic solids. Wara arise from
colored anions, except when damage is induced in the lattice, for example radiation, also causes the
center of color, through trapping electrons in the hole. Alkali metal salts are generally characterized by
high melting points, by melting electricity, and their ease of dissolving in water. The elements in this
group are usually hydrated when the anions are small, such as in halides, because the hydration energy
of these ions is not enough to compensate for the energy needed to expand the lattice (Cotton and
Wilkinson, 1989).

According to Day and Undewood (2002), salt is one example of crystalline solids, salt is another
product outside of water formed when an acid reacts with a base. For example, when hydrochloric acid
and sodium and sodium hydroxide react, the product is salt (sodium chloride) and water. Molecularly
written as follows: HCL+NaOH NaCl + H2O

The difference between complex salt and double salt. In some instances, it is possible to separate
complex salts from solution. From ferrous sulfate and KCN, potassium ferocyanide formed can be
separated. In some instances a separation experiment does not produce good results and complex
compounds are found to be only stable in the solution state. A complex salt must be distinguished from
double salt. A simple example of a double salt is the formation of ferrous ammonium sulphate and all
rows of alum formulas. If ferrous sulphate and ammonium sulfate are allowed to crystallize together in a
suitable ratio, the crystals of the two do not appear to be separate. The result formed is a single crystal.
That indicates that two separate molecules have joined together to form a single molecule. In this event
complex salts are similar to double salts. Complex compounds such as potassium ferocyanide, molecules
of ferocyanide and potassium cyanide combine to form one single molecule. However, actually these two
events are different. The solution in ferrous ammonium sulfate contains ferrous ions as much as sulfate
ions, and their presence in solution is easy to test in a reaction (Sjahrul, 2010)
Complex ion formation gives a new physical and chemical property of matter. In the event of
double salts, decomposition into ions is almost perfect to occur initially, because of that chemical
properties do not experience changes (Sjahrul, 2010).
We know that solids have a fixed volume and shape, this is because molecules in solids occupy a
fixed or unchanging place in a crystal. In addition, solid molecules too experience movement. However,
the movement is very limited. Solid substances can be distinguished between crystalline and amorphous
solids. In crystals, atoms or crystalline molecules have a fixed structure but not in amorphous substances.
Amorphous solids can be considered as liquids that freeze with a long time with very large viscosity.
Crystal and amorphous solids can be distinguished in various ways, for example from their melting
points. Crystals have a definite melting point, while amorphous melting points are uncertain, but remain
in a temperature interval (Sukardjo, 1985)
Based on research conducted by Singh et al., (2013), a number of nanocomposites has been
synthesized biomimetically by implanting various transition metal salts in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a
preorganized matrix. Metal salt is reduced to a metal form using aqueous sodium borohydride solution.
Salt / transition metal composites show an increase in thermal stability as indicated by a shift in pure
decomposition temperature of PVA. Thermal stability is explained in terms of decreasing segmental
mobility of polymer chains because of metal / metal salt bonds that form complexes with hydroxyl
groups from polymer chains and thus reduce the heat transfer process for decomposition of polymer
composites.
