LANES WORK
1. Recrystallization

Measured 1 gram of Salicylic Acid

+ 15 mL aquadest

Put into Erlenmeyer

Heated on spiritus burner until boiled and at the
same time shaken
Added aquadest until the crystal dissolve
Calculate the required volume of aquadest

Mix solution

Filtered in a hot state with Buchner funnel

Filtrate Precipitate

Cooled until crystal formed

Filtered again with Buchner funnel

White crystal

Dried on the desiccator

Measure the mass
Compared the melting point with the first substance

White crystal

2. Making Aspirin
 2,5 g dry salicylic acid

Entered into Erlenmeyer flask 125 mL

Added with 3.75 g acetic acid anhydrous
Added with 3 drops of sulfuric acid
concentrate
Stirred until homogenous
Heated in beaker glass until the temperature
50-60 ◦C
Stirred until 5 minutes
Take from the electric stove and cooled in
room temperature, with stirred
Added 37.5 ml aquadest
Filtered with Buchner funnel

Filtrate Residue

Entered into Erlenmeyer

flask
Added with 7.5 mL
ethanol 96% and 35 mL of
aquadest
Heated in electric heater
until homogenous
Filtered in hot condition
with Buchner funnel
