Separation Of Acetanilide

In order to separate and purify acetanilide from acetanilide crude, 500mg acetanilide crude were put into boiling water. With additional 5ml hot water, acetanilide crude was dissolved into water and clear solution was observed after the mixture was heated. Then, approximate 60mg charcoal were added to the solution and the solution was reheated to the boiling point. After the filtration system was set up, acetanilide solution was poured through the system and colorless solution was harvested. When the solution cooled down to room temperature, it was placed in ice bath and recrystallization was observed. After recrystallization was completed, resulting crystals were collected by using vacuum filtration.
