B. Procedure
1. Select the Recrystallizing Agent
A corn-grain amount of pure acetanilide was
placed into each of the three test tubes
containing water, ethanol and hexane, 1 mL of
each. Each test tube was shaken and was placed
in a warm water bath (37- 40oC) for 1-5 minutes.
It was cooled after. Observations were recorded.
3. Recrystallization process
EXPERIMENTAL
A. Compounds tested (or Samples used)
The samples used to produce the crude
acetanilide were pure acetanilide, aniline and
acetic anhydride. The samples used in to select
the recrystallizing agent were pure acetanilide,
water, hexane and ethanol.
