PROCEDURE

1. 2 g of vanillin was weighted into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask

2. 50 mL of distilled water was added into the flask and it stirred vigorously.
3. The solution was heated on just to the boiling point and it stirred until all vanillin
dissolves
4. The flask was placed in an ice bath for 5 min and it stirred occasionally.
5. A properly fitted piece of filter paper piece of filter paper is placed in the buchner funnel
to make sure that all of the holes are covered.
6. The paper is wetted thoroughly with the distilled water and vacuum filter the crystallized
vanillin crystal.
7. The Erlenmeyer flask was rinsed twice with 5mL of ice-cooled distilled water and this
water used to wash the crystals in the funnel.
8. The crystal was empty onto a weighed piece of filter and was placed in desiccator for
drying.
9. After drying process, the crystallized vanillin was weighed, and the data is recorded.

CONCLUSION
From the experiment, we can conclude that the purpose of this experiment to purify the crude
vanillin through recrystallization technique and to determine the recovery percentage of
recrystallized vanillin.
