Recrystallization Abstract: Technical grade aniline was reacted with acetic anhydride to give acetanilide a dark brown color‚ due to the presence of impurities. Crystallization of the crude product from water was combined with decolorization with activated carbon‚ furnished pure acetanilide as white flakes‚ melting point 112-115°C‚ yield 70.3%. Experimental: 2 grams of technical grade aniline and 15ml water were placed in a 125ml Erlenmeyer flask. Then‚ 2.5ml of acetic anhydride was

The percentage of pure acetanilide I recovered during this lab was 3.33%‚ which is lower than I expected. However‚ the low percentage shows that the impurities within the original impure acetanilide solute were removed. A number of factors could have caused the low yield of pure crystals. The melting

In the next lab‚ percent recovered was obtained through weighing the acetanilide sample as well as comparing its melting point range. In this experiment‚ the sample‚ acetanilide was weighted to be 1.523 grams. The sample appeared to be a pale mixture of brown flakes before it was crushed into small flakes. When boiling the sample with

must be discovered. Panacetin tablets are known to contain aspirin‚ acetaminophen‚ and sucrose; therefore‚ the tablets tested‚ containing aspirin and sucrose‚ are thought to contain an unknown of something similar to that of acetaminophen such as acetanilide or phenacetin. Another problem trying to be sought out in the experiments is whether or not the composition of Panacetin as stated on the label is accurate. The experiment involved the separation of the unknown from the Panacetin by first isolating

Organic Chemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ acetanilide was used as the pure organic compound. Acetylation of aniline and acetic anhydride yields the crude product or crude acetanilide. The crude acetanilide was purified by dissolving it in hot water and then the solution was cooled slowly by placing in an ice bath. The yielded crystals were pure acetanilide since molecules of other compounds present in the crude acetanilide were excluded from the growing crystal lattice. Lattice is

Title: Acetanilide Synthesis Objective: To synthesize Acetanilide by recrystallization. To check its purity by calculating its percent yield. Introduction: Aniline is a primary aromatic amine and weak base which forms salts with mineral acids. In acidic solution‚ nitrous acid converts aniline into a diazonium salt that is an intermediate in the preparation of a great number of dyes and other organic compounds of commercial interest. When aniline is heated

EXP-10 CHEM 233L SYNTHESIS OF p-BROMOANILINE Introduction: In this experiment‚ p-bromoaniline was synthesized in three steps starting from aniline. Since the amino group of aniline is a strong activator of aromatic ring‚ direct bromination is impractical (equation 1). In order to make a desired product‚ amino group needed to be protected as the acetamide which also maintained ortho and para position but slowed down the rate of reaction (equation 2). Slow reaction rate would increase
