Dissolved Acetanilide Compound

208 Words1 Page
In the experiment, the primary substance used for recrystallization was an acetanilide compound. The physical properties of the compound was changed through every stage of the recrystallization process. Initially, the acetanilide compound can be described as a tan-colored salt. But then the 1.496g compound was put into a flask with water at room temperature, in which resulted with the compound not dissolved. Afterwards, small portions of hot water were added to the flask to completely dissolve the compound. Subsequently, the dissolved acetanilide aqueous solution was put through a hot vacuum filter to remove impure solids. The portion of the compound that was not removed appeared as a murky white liquid with crystals inside. The liquid was

    The task in part A, is to take crude Acetanilide (composed of Acetanilide and two impurities: A & B), and isolate the Acetanilide using the purification techniques. After isolating the Acetanilide, find its melting point range. In part B of this experiment, the students are given a crude compound, composed of Naphthalene and an impurity, and they are to isolate and record the melting point of Naphthalene using

    of acquiring crude acetanilide, which is an impure substance, and purifying the solid compound through different method. The second part of the experiment required time for the purified acetanilide to recrystallize. The recovered acetanilide was then weighed and its melting point was taken. During the first part of the experiment, about 1.520 grams of crude acetanilide was weighed out. The impure substance had the appearance of a whitish brown solid color. The crude acetanilide was placed into an
