Method of making ammonium acetate
To make ammonium acetate, you first need to prepare materials. Ethanoic acid and ammonia solution are necessary, and the purity of the two should be high to ensure the purity of the product. And clean containers are required, such as glass beakers, and accurate measuring instruments, such as measuring cylinders, balances, etc.
Measurement is essential. According to the amount and concentration of ammonium acetate required, the amount of acetic acid and ammonia water can be accurately calculated. If you want to make a certain concentration of ammonium acetate solution, you can use the stoichiometric relationship to finely push the formula. For example, it is known that the chemical equation for the reaction of acetic acid and ammonia is: $CH_3COOH + NH_3\ cdot H_2O\ longrightarrow CH_3COONH_4 + H_2O $, which is the quantity reaction of these substances. If 0.1 dollars\ mol/L $of ammonium acetate solution is 100 dollars\ mL $, 0.1 dollars\ mol/L $of acetic acid and 0.1 dollars\ mol/L $of ammonia are 100 dollars\ mL $each. When
is prepared, slowly pour the measured acetic acid into a clean beaker, and then slowly add ammonia to it. In this process, it is necessary to continuously stir to make the two fully mixed. Because the reaction is a neutralization reaction, heat will be released, so stirring also helps to dissipate heat and prevent the solution temperature from being too high.
After the reaction is completed, the resulting solution may contain impurities. At this time, the method of filtration can be adopted. Use filter paper and funnel to filter out insoluble matter to obtain a clear ammonium acetate solution. If you need solid ammonium acetate, you can move the filtrate to an evaporation dish and heat it on low heat to evaporate. When heating, keep stirring to prevent local overheating from causing the decomposition of the product. When a large number of crystals precipitate, stop heating, and use residual heat to evaporate the remaining water to finally obtain a pure ammonium acetate solid. Throughout the preparation process, the operation must be cautious and the chemical experimental specifications must be strictly adhered to to to achieve the desired effect.
