Method of making ammonium acetate
To make ammonium acetate, prepare acetic acid and ammonia water first. Acetic acid is active and has many applications in the chemical industry; ammonia water is alkaline, and the two meet to form ammonium acetate.

Put in a clean container, measure an appropriate amount of acetic acid, and pour it slowly. The action should be slow to prevent splashing and hurting people. Then measure ammonia water, add it dropwise to acetic acid with a dropper or a separation funnel. Stir constantly to make the two fully mixed. For stirring, use a glass rod, and the action is gentle and uniform.

During this process, a slight reaction can be observed in the solution. Due to the combination of acetic acid and ammonia, it is the reaction of acid-base neutralization, which will release a little heat. When the reaction is stable, you can test the pH of the test paper to determine the degree of reaction between the two. If the acidity is too strong, you can add ammonia water slightly; if the alkalinity is too heavy, add a little acetic acid.

When the pH of the solution is close to neutral, this is the solution of ammonium acetate. To obtain the solid of ammonium acetate, you can move the solution to an evaporation dish and heat it on low heat to allow the water to evaporate gradually. When heating, you need to continue stirring to prevent local overheating from causing the decomposition of substances. As the water gradually decreases, you can see that there are crystals precipitating. When most of the water evaporates, a large number of crystals are formed. Remove the heat source and dry it with residual heat.

In this way, ammonium acetate can be obtained. When making, you need to follow the steps and pay attention to safety in order
