 Reaction mixture should first cooled and then poured in ice-cold water otherwise hydrolysis
of acetanilide may take place.
Aim :

To prepare p- nitro acetanilide from acetanilide.

Theory

The nitration of aniline is difficult to carry out with nitrating mixture since –NH2 gets oxidized . So the amini
group is first protected by acetylation to form acetanilide which is then nitrated to give p- nitroacetanide as
amajor product. And o – nitro acetanide as a minor product. Recrystallisation from ethanol readily removes
the more soluble ortho compound .

mixture using a glass rod.
2. Take 2ml of fuming nitric acid in a clean test tube and cool it in a freezing mixture taken in a
beaker. Carefully add 2ml of conc.sulphuric acid drop by drop while constantly shaking and
cooling it.
3. Add 8ml of conc.sulphuric acid drop by drop into the conical flask containing acetanilide and
glacial acetic acid and cool it in a freezing mixture. Stir the contents and wait until the
temperature becomes less than 5oC.
4. To the cooled contents in the flask, add the nitrating mixture prepared in the 2nd step, drop
by drop while stirring constantly. While adding the nitrating mixture, the temperature of the
mixture in the flask should not rise above 25oC. Remove the conical flask from the freezing
mixture and allow it to stand for 30min at room temperature.
5. Pour the contents of the flask into a beaker containing crushed ice. Stir it well and filter the
precipitate obtained and wash it thoroughly with cold water.
6. Recrystallisation of p-Nitro acetanilide: Dissolve the precipitate obtained above in 20ml
methylated spirit. Warm it to get a clear solution. Filter the hot solution and cool the filtrate
in ice. P-Nitro acetanilide is obtained as colourless crystals. Wash the crystals with cold
water and then dry the crystals and measure the weight of the crystals.

CHEMICAL KINETICS

AIM :

To study the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate
and hydrochloricacid.

Theory

According to the law of mass action, rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the
product of the molar concentrations of the reactants. In other words, the rate of reaction increases
with the increase in the concentration of the reactants. The effect of concentration of reactants on
rate of a reaction can be studied easily by the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric
acid.
Na2S203 + 2HCl ——–> S(s) + 2NaCl(aq) + SO2(g) + H2O(l)
The insoluble sulphur, formed during the reaction, gives a milky appearance and makes the solution
opaque. Therefore, rate of reaction can be studied by measuring the time taken to produce enough
sulphur to make some mark invisible on a paper kept under the conical flask in which the reaction is
carried out.

Apparatus

Pipette (10 ml), stop-watch, two burettes and five conical flasks (100 ml).

Materials

0.1 M Na2S2O3 solution and 1 M HCl solution.

Procedure

1. Wash the conical flasks with water and label them as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
2. With the help of a burette, add 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ml of 0.1 M Na2S2O3 solution to the
flasks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
3. Now add 40, 30, 20 and 10 ml of distilled water to the flask 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively so that
volume of solution in each flask is 50 ml.
4. Take 10 ml of 1M HCl in a test tube with the help of a burette.
5. Add 10 ml of hydrochloric acid taken in a test tube to the conical flask No. 1 containing 10 ml
of 0.1 M Na2S2O3 and 40 ml of distilled water and start the stop-watch.
When half of the hydrochloric acid solution has been added. Shake the contents of the conical
flask and place it on the tile with a cross mark as shown in Fig.
6. Go on observing from top to downwards in the flask and stop the stop-watch when the cross
mark just becomes invisible. Note down the time.
7. Repeat the experiment by adding 10 ml of 1M HCl to flasks 2, 3,4 and 5 and record the time
taken in each case for the cross to become just invisible.

Result
From the graph, it is clear that 1/t is directly proportional to the cone, of Na2S2O3 solution. But y is a
direct measure of rate of the reaction, therefore, rate of the reaction between Na2S2O3 and HCl is
directly proportional to the cone, of Na2S2O3 solution taken. Hence, rate of this reaction is directly
proportional to the concentration of Na2S2O3, which is one of the reactants.
Note. It may be noted that the reaction rate also increases when the amount of sodium thiosulphate is
kept constant but the concentration of hydrochloric acid is increased.

Precautions

1. The apparatus must be thoroughly clean. If the same conical flask is to be used again and
again, it should be thoroughly washed with cone. HNO3 and then with water.
2. Measure the volumes of sodium thiosulphate solution, hydrochloric acid and distilled water
very accurately.
3. Use the same tile with the same cross-mark for all observation,
4. Complete the experiment at one time only so that there is not much temperature variation.
5. Start the stop-watch immediately when half of the hydrochloric acid solution has been added
to sodium thiosulphate solution.
6. View the cross-mark through the reaction mixture from top to bottom from same height for all
observations.

 Egg albumin sol is prepared at room temperature because in hot solution the precipitation of egg albumin
takes place.
 The yellow yolk should be separated completely from the egg albumin before using the later in the
experiment.
 Addition of egg albumin should be done very slowly and while constantly stirring so as to disperse the
colloidal particles well in the solution.
Aim : To prepare ferric hydroxide sol
Theory

Ferric hydroxide forms a lyophilic sol. The substance such as metal hydroxides or sulphides are insoluble and
do not really give colloidal solutions on treatment with water are called hydrophobic colloids.

Ferric hydroxide is prepared by the hydrolysis of ferric chloride with boiling distilled water.

FeCl3 + 3H2O boil Fe(OH) 3 + 3 HCl

Hydrochloric acid which is produced during tries to destabilize the sol and hence must be removed from the sol by
dialysis .

Procedure

 Take a 250 ml conical flask and clean it using the steaming out process.
 To this cleaned conical flask, add 100 ml of distilled water using a measuring cylinder.
 Bring the water to boil by placing the flask over a Bunsen burner.

 Freshly distilled aniline should be used to get good results.
 Prolonged heating and use of excess of acetic anhydride should be avoided.
 Reaction mixture should first cooled and then poured in ice-cold water otherwise hydrolysis
of acetanilide may take place.
Aim :

To prepare p- nitro acetanilide from acetanilide.

Theory

The nitration of aniline is difficult to carry out with nitrating mixture since –NH2 gets oxidized . So the amini
group is first protected by acetylation to form acetanilide which is then nitrated to give p- nitroacetanide as
amajor product. And o – nitro acetanide as a minor product. Recrystallisation from ethanol readily removes
the more soluble ortho compound .

Materials Required

Acetanilide- 5g ,Glacial acetic acid- 5ml,Conc.sulphuric acid -10ml, Fuming nitric acid -2ml

Methylated spirit -20ml, Test tubes, Glass rod, Beaker

beaker. Carefully add 2ml of conc.sulphuric acid drop by drop while constantly shaking and
cooling it.
9. Add 8ml of conc.sulphuric acid drop by drop into the conical flask containing acetanilide and
glacial acetic acid and cool it in a freezing mixture. Stir the contents and wait until the
temperature becomes less than 5oC.
10. To the cooled contents in the flask, add the nitrating mixture prepared in the 2nd step, drop
by drop while stirring constantly. While adding the nitrating mixture, the temperature of the
mixture in the flask should not rise above 25oC. Remove the conical flask from the freezing
mixture and allow it to stand for 30min at room temperature.
11. Pour the contents of the flask into a beaker containing crushed ice. Stir it well and filter the
precipitate obtained and wash it thoroughly with cold water.
12. Recrystallisation of p-Nitro acetanilide: Dissolve the precipitate obtained above in 20ml
methylated spirit. Warm it to get a clear solution. Filter the hot solution and cool the filtrate
in ice. P-Nitro acetanilide is obtained as colourless crystals. Wash the crystals with cold
water and then dry the crystals and measure the weight of the crystals.

CHEMICAL KINETICS

AIM :

To study the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate
and hydrochloricacid.

Theory

According to the law of mass action, rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the
product of the molar concentrations of the reactants. In other words, the rate of reaction increases
with the increase in the concentration of the reactants. The effect of concentration of reactants on
rate of a reaction can be studied easily by the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric
acid.
Na2S203 + 2HCl ——–> S(s) + 2NaCl(aq) + SO2(g) + H2O(l)
The insoluble sulphur, formed during the reaction, gives a milky appearance and makes the solution
opaque. Therefore, rate of reaction can be studied by measuring the time taken to produce enough
sulphur to make some mark invisible on a paper kept under the conical flask in which the reaction is
carried out.

Apparatus

Pipette (10 ml), stop-watch, two burettes and five conical flasks (100 ml).

Materials

0.1 M Na2S2O3 solution and 1 M HCl solution.

Procedure

8. Wash the conical flasks with water and label them as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
9. With the help of a burette, add 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ml of 0.1 M Na2S2O3 solution to the
flasks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
10. Now add 40, 30, 20 and 10 ml of distilled water to the flask 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively so that
volume of solution in each flask is 50 ml.
11. Take 10 ml of 1M HCl in a test tube with the help of a burette.
12. Add 10 ml of hydrochloric acid taken in a test tube to the conical flask No. 1 containing 10 ml
of 0.1 M Na2S2O3 and 40 ml of distilled water and start the stop-watch.
When half of the hydrochloric acid solution has been added. Shake the contents of the conical
flask and place it on the tile with a cross mark as shown in Fig.
13. Go on observing from top to downwards in the flask and stop the stop-watch when the cross
mark just becomes invisible. Note down the time.
14. Repeat the experiment by adding 10 ml of 1M HCl to flasks 2, 3,4 and 5 and record the time
taken in each case for the cross to become just invisible.

Result
From the graph, it is clear that 1/t is directly proportional to the cone, of Na2S2O3 solution. But y is a
direct measure of rate of the reaction, therefore, rate of the reaction between Na2S2O3 and HCl is
directly proportional to the cone, of Na2S2O3 solution taken. Hence, rate of this reaction is directly
proportional to the concentration of Na2S2O3, which is one of the reactants.
Note. It may be noted that the reaction rate also increases when the amount of sodium thiosulphate is
kept constant but the concentration of hydrochloric acid is increased.

Precautions

7. The apparatus must be thoroughly clean. If the same conical flask is to be used again and
again, it should be thoroughly washed with cone. HNO3 and then with water.
8. Measure the volumes of sodium thiosulphate solution, hydrochloric acid and distilled water
very accurately.
9. Use the same tile with the same cross-mark for all observation,
10. Complete the experiment at one time only so that there is not much temperature variation.
11. Start the stop-watch immediately when half of the hydrochloric acid solution has been added
to sodium thiosulphate solution.
12. View the cross-mark through the reaction mixture from top to bottom from same height for all
observations.

Precautions

 Handle the chemicals with care.


 Freshly distilled aniline should be used to get good results.
 Prolonged heating and use of excess of acetic anhydride should be avoided.
 Reaction mixture should first cooled and then poured in ice-cold water otherwise hydrolysis
of acetanilide may take place.
Aim :

To prepare p- nitro acetanilide from acetanilide.

Theory

The nitration of aniline is difficult to carry out with nitrating mixture since –NH2 gets oxidized . So the amini
group is first protected by acetylation to form acetanilide which is then nitrated to give p- nitroacetanide as
amajor product. And o – nitro acetanide as a minor product. Recrystallisation from ethanol readily removes
the more soluble ortho compound .

Materials Required

Acetanilide- 5g ,Glacial acetic acid- 5ml,Conc.sulphuric acid -10ml, Fuming nitric acid -2ml

Methylated spirit -20ml, Test tubes, Glass rod, Beaker

13. Take 5g powdered acetanilide and 5ml of glacial acetic acid in a conical flask and stir the
mixture using a glass rod.
14. Take 2ml of fuming nitric acid in a clean test tube and cool it in a freezing mixture taken in a
beaker. Carefully add 2ml of conc.sulphuric acid drop by drop while constantly shaking and
cooling it.
15. Add 8ml of conc.sulphuric acid drop by drop into the conical flask containing acetanilide and
glacial acetic acid and cool it in a freezing mixture. Stir the contents and wait until the
temperature becomes less than 5oC.
16. To the cooled contents in the flask, add the nitrating mixture prepared in the 2nd step, drop
by drop while stirring constantly. While adding the nitrating mixture, the temperature of the
mixture in the flask should not rise above 25oC. Remove the conical flask from the freezing
mixture and allow it to stand for 30min at room temperature.
17. Pour the contents of the flask into a beaker containing crushed ice. Stir it well and filter the
precipitate obtained and wash it thoroughly with cold water.
18. Recrystallisation of p-Nitro acetanilide: Dissolve the precipitate obtained above in 20ml
methylated spirit. Warm it to get a clear solution. Filter the hot solution and cool the filtrate
in ice. P-Nitro acetanilide is obtained as colourless crystals. Wash the crystals with cold
water and then dry the crystals and measure the weight of the crystals.

Observation
The weight of p-nitroacetanilide = 3.5 g
Melting point : = 2140c

Precautions

 Handle the chemicals with care.


 During the addition of nitrating mixture, the temperature of the reaction mixture should not
rise above 25 oC.
 Addition of fuming nitric acid should be done drop wise.
 Do not inhale the vapours of nitric acid as they are very corrosive in nature. Addition of

CHEMICAL KINETICS

AIM :

To study the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate
and hydrochloricacid.

Theory

According to the law of mass action, rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the
product of the molar concentrations of the reactants. In other words, the rate of reaction increases
with the increase in the concentration of the reactants. The effect of concentration of reactants on
rate of a reaction can be studied easily by the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric
acid.
Na2S203 + 2HCl ——–> S(s) + 2NaCl(aq) + SO2(g) + H2O(l)
The insoluble sulphur, formed during the reaction, gives a milky appearance and makes the solution
opaque. Therefore, rate of reaction can be studied by measuring the time taken to produce enough
sulphur to make some mark invisible on a paper kept under the conical flask in which the reaction is
carried out.

Apparatus

Pipette (10 ml), stop-watch, two burettes and five conical flasks (100 ml).

Materials

0.1 M Na2S2O3 solution and 1 M HCl solution.

Procedure

15. Wash the conical flasks with water and label them as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
16. With the help of a burette, add 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ml of 0.1 M Na2S2O3 solution to the
flasks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
17. Now add 40, 30, 20 and 10 ml of distilled water to the flask 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively so that
volume of solution in each flask is 50 ml.
18. Take 10 ml of 1M HCl in a test tube with the help of a burette.
19. Add 10 ml of hydrochloric acid taken in a test tube to the conical flask No. 1 containing 10 ml
of 0.1 M Na2S2O3 and 40 ml of distilled water and start the stop-watch.
When half of the hydrochloric acid solution has been added. Shake the contents of the conical
flask and place it on the tile with a cross mark as shown in Fig.
20. Go on observing from top to downwards in the flask and stop the stop-watch when the cross
mark just becomes invisible. Note down the time.
21. Repeat the experiment by adding 10 ml of 1M HCl to flasks 2, 3,4 and 5 and record the time
taken in each case for the cross to become just invisible.

Result
From the graph, it is clear that 1/t is directly proportional to the cone, of Na2S2O3 solution. But y is a
direct measure of rate of the reaction, therefore, rate of the reaction between Na2S2O3 and HCl is
directly proportional to the cone, of Na2S2O3 solution taken. Hence, rate of this reaction is directly
proportional to the concentration of Na2S2O3, which is one of the reactants.
Note. It may be noted that the reaction rate also increases when the amount of sodium thiosulphate is
kept constant but the concentration of hydrochloric acid is increased.

Precautions

13. The apparatus must be thoroughly clean. If the same conical flask is to be used again and
again, it should be thoroughly washed with cone. HNO3 and then with water.
14. Measure the volumes of sodium thiosulphate solution, hydrochloric acid and distilled water
very accurately.
15. Use the same tile with the same cross-mark for all observation,
16. Complete the experiment at one time only so that there is not much temperature variation.
17. Start the stop-watch immediately when half of the hydrochloric acid solution has been added
to sodium thiosulphate solution.
18. View the cross-mark through the reaction mixture from top to bottom from same height for all
observations.

Precautions

 The apparatus used for preparing the sol should be properly cleaned.
 Distilled water should be used for preparing sols in water.
 Egg albumin sol is prepared at room temperature because in hot solution the precipitation of egg albumin
takes place.
 The yellow yolk should be separated completely from the egg albumin before using the later in the
experiment.
 Addition of egg albumin should be done very slowly and while constantly stirring so as to disperse the
colloidal particles well in the solution.
Aim : To prepare ferric hydroxide sol
Theory

Ferric hydroxide forms a lyophilic sol. The substance such as metal hydroxides or sulphides are insoluble and
do not really give colloidal solutions on treatment with water are called hydrophobic colloids.

Ferric hydroxide is prepared by the hydrolysis of ferric chloride with boiling distilled water.

FeCl3 + 3H2O boil Fe(OH) 3 + 3 HCl

Hydrochloric acid which is produced during tries to destabilize the sol and hence must be removed from the sol by
dialysis .

PROCEDURE

F. Preparation of 0.025 M, standard solution of oxalic acid

(Molar mass of oxalic acid = 126g mol–1).

(i) Weigh 0.315 g of oxalic acid and transfer it into a 100 mL measuring flask through a funnel. Transfer
the solid sticking to the funnel with the help of distilled water into the flask. When the oxalic acid in the flask
is completely dissolved , add enough water and make the solution up to the mark.

(i) Rinse and fill a clean burette with potassium permanganate solution. Remove the air bubble, if any, (ii)
Take 10 mL of 0 .025 M oxalic acid solution in a conical flask and add half of the test tube full ( ≈ 5 mL) of
2.0 M H2SO4 to it to prevent the formation of any precipitate of manganese dioxide during the course of the
titration.

(iii) Heat the oxalic acid solution upto 50°– 60°C before titrating it with potassium permanganate solution
taken in the burette.
(iv) Note the initial reading of the volume of permanganate solution in the burette and add it in small
volumes to the hot oxalic acid solution while swirling the contents of the flask gently. The end point is
indicated by the appearance of permanent light pink colour

(v) Repeat the titration till three concordant readings are obtained.
