Synthesis:    Starting with some acetic acid (in this case a bottle of clear white vinegar, not cider vinegar), add enough sodium hydroxide to neutralize the acid. 1 mole of hydroxide will neutralize 1 mole of acid, so adjust your reactants according to how much you wish to make. It will take about 126 g of sodium hydroxide to neutralize 4 L of 5% vinegar. It is a good idea to have the solution be slightly acidic rather than have excess sodium hydroxide, the acid will be removed later on, the base will not. The neutralization will generate a good deal of heat, add the hydroxide slowly with stirring, a cooling bath may help. A more economical choice for a neutralizer is sodium bicarbonate, good old baking soda. This will be the trite baking soda and vinegar reaction kids love; in this case it will take 266.7 g of sodium bicarbonate to neutralize 4 L of 5% vinegar. The level of neutralization can be gauged by how much carbon dioxide gas is being released; once the fizzing subsides it is done.      To obtain the crystals of sodium acetate, boil the neutralized solution down until only crystals remain. To obtain anhydrous crystals, place them in a shallow iron, nickel, or ceramic crucible and heat with a flame. The salt will first melt from its moisture content, eventually steam will be evolved in large amounts and the salt will solidify. To remove the last traces of moisture, heat the mass very strongly, wave the flame back and fourth under the crucible until the crystals melt again, it is done. Be sure not to overheat the crystals, they will decompose into a flammable gas and begin to char. After the crystals have cooled, scrape them from the dish with a knife and seal them, they will eventually absorb moisture from the air. If the crystals are kept for any length of time, or if they are obtained from a chemical supplier, it is a good idea to melt them to drive off any acquired moisture.

sodium hypochlorite			NaClO	1
mp 18	bp ?	d ?	m 74.44	c $?.??
Safety Data: MSDS
Synonyms: bleach; Clorox; Dazzle; Eau de Labarraque
Synthesis:    Sodium hypochlorite is available as ordinary OTC bleach in about 5% concentration (Clorox brand for example is 5.25%). While it is possible to use store bought bleach to make hydrazine, it may contain undesirable contaminants. The hydrazine lab also specifically requires the use of the “normal” hypochlorite solution outlined below. I do not know how much hypochlorite the normal solution contains, so I cannot tell you how much bleach to substitute. Some experimentation on your part will be in order.      Prepare a solution of 300 g of sodium hydroxide in 1500 mL of water; add 1500 g of ice to this solution. Chlorine gas is then passed into the solution until it has gained 213 g (3 moles) in weight. During the chlorine addition the solution must be kept thoroughly cold with ice to prevent the formation of chlorates. After all the chlorine has passed in, it is necessary to be certain that the mixture is slightly alkaline, since any free chlorine in solution will prevent the formation of hydrazine, if that is what this chemical will be used for.

Synthesis:    Add to a 3-necked 1-liter flask, which has been set in a pan of cold water set atop a cold hotplate, 150 g of nitromethane and 2 g of potassium carbonate hemihydrate. Gradually add 200 g of 37% formaldehyde, maintaining the temperature in the flask below 30 °C. Add gradually, over a period of 30 minutes, an additional 475 g of 37% formaldehyde, allowing the temperature of the mixture to rise to 80 °C. Maintain the solution at 90 °C for 2 hours, connect the flask to a vacuum source to evaporate the solution to half of its volume, this will drive off the bulk of the formaldehyde. Break the vacuum, dilute with water, and concentrate again under reduced pressure. Repeat the dilutations and concentrations until only a faint odor of formaldehyde remains. After allowing the mixture to cool, pour the solution over a filter to collect the red colored precipitate. Dissolve the crude product in hot alcohol and crystallize by cooling. Recrystallize several times from ether.
