Please excuse the appallingly incorrect chemical equation balancing it's three am (0300am) and I can't sleep... But I'm exhausted!!!!
Sodium acetate + sodium sulphate = glacial acetic acid right?
I just need to react both the anhydrous sodium acetate with the anhydrous sodium sulphate on a vacuum chamber right?.....while they're being agitated vigorously? Is this correct? If not pls enlighten. The product s mells like pure acetic acid so far....
At won't point do I need to distill this, can I use fractional crystalizatin to get a pure acetic acid crystal in a hydrogen free enviorment (aka reactionary atmosphere)? (,I'd use a nitrogen gas)
Need help making this for my class next Monday. Will be having my students make glacial acetic acid to show them/teach them about nucleation sites!
