My friend has done his first rxn and did and overkill on the HCl titration and ended up with a yellow powder...
He then tried to save it by adding aquaous NaOH to neutralize, but the ended up with a massive amount of salt (he should have seen this comming...)
So he asked for help.
Someone suggested to redo the AB, and he did. The problem was that he had just 6 Ph papers left.
In addition they were pretty useless, it was diffcult to see the difference between the Ph values, causing him to overdo the HCl again...
Then someone suggested to wash with dry acetone. That worked like a charm!
Thanks, you know who you are!
Now, it still seems that he has much salt in his product after evaping. Sure tastes like it.
Can this be seperated another way?
He only has about 1G left, so another AB wont work for him i think...
It perhaps NaCl solubole in something the desired product isnt? Or some other shortcut?
He understands if there isnt, but if there is he'd probably like to know...
Any help whould be greatly.. well, y'know...
