The method of synthesis of potassium acetate
If you want to make potassium acetate, there are various methods. First, acetic acid can be combined with potassium hydroxide. Take an appropriate amount of acetic acid and slowly inject it into the solution of potassium hydroxide. During this period, you must use a glass rod to stir frequently to ensure that the two are uniform. And this process should be slowed rather than rushed to prevent overreaction. After the two are fully reacted, the solution gradually neutralizes, and it is measured by a test paper. It can be neutral. Then put the solution in an evaporating dish and steam it slowly over low heat to gradually remove the water, and finally obtain a crystal of potassium acetate.
Second, potassium carbonate can also be used to react with acetic acid. Take the solid of potassium carbonate, grind it into a powder, and slowly add the acetic acid solution. During the reaction, bubbles can be seen escaping, which is the gas of carbon dioxide. When the bubbles no longer appear, it indicates that the reaction will be completed. The follow-up operation is similar to the previous method, and the method of evaporation is also used to obtain the crystallization of potassium acetate.
When preparing, all kinds of utensils must be clean and dry to prevent impurities from mixing in and damaging its purity. And weigh the medicine, when it is accurate, in this way, pure potassium acetate can be obtained.
