Prosedur Asli Iodoform

PREPARATION OF IODOFORM
Make a short abstract of these directions to use as a guide while doing the work. Make a habit of
preparing such abstracts for all experiments.
Directions. In a 500 cc Florence flask place 10 g of iodine and pour onto this 10 g of acetone. Add in
small portions, and with constant shaking, as much as is needed of a solution made up of 20 cc of 8 N
sodium hydroxide solution and 80 cc of water. If the flask becomes hot to the hand, cool it at once with
running water. When sufficient sodium hydroxide solution has been added set the flask aside. No free
iodine should be present at this time, nor any suggestion of brown color in the liquid. Look carefully on
the bottom of the flask for unattacked iodine.
After 5 minutes collect the yellow precipitate, using the small Buchner funnel. Place filtrate at
once in bottle labeled Iodoform Filtate. Wash the solid on the funnel with a little water. The compound
is then to be dissolved in the smallest possible quantity of hot ethyl alcohol as follows : put the
iodoform in a small flask srranged for refluxing. Pour a few cc of alcohol down the condenser (no flames
within 6 ft), and warm on the electric hot plate or the steam-bath, shaking the flask at times.
When the mix is warm add a little more alcohol, then wait till it becomes hot to see whether
enough has been added to dissolve all (there will always be a few shred of filter paper, etc., which
should not be mistaken for iodoform). Do not heat longer than necessary and avoid actual boiling if
possible.
When enough solvent (about 40 cc) has been added to dissolve all the iodoform at the boiling
point of the solution, add about 2 cc, additional solvent, then filter the hot solution through a fluted
filter paper, using a funnel previously warmed over the hot-plate or steam-bath.
Caution - do not inhale the vapor from the solution.
Cover the filtered solution and set aside to cool slowly. In 15 minutes add about 25 cc of water,
meanwhile stirring vigorously to completely precipitate the iodoform, then filter with the Buchner
funnel. Wash the crystals on the funnel with a few drops of cold alcohol (cut of solution during the
washing). Remove the crystals from the filter paper, spread them on a fresh, dry piece of filter paper.
The best way to remove paper, etc., from the Buchner funnel is to hold it over a clean filter paper and
blow gently through the steam. The end of the funnel steam should first be washed so that no chemical
can get on the lips. Any crystals remaining in the funnel are removed with knife or spatula. The crystals
are to be placed in the desiccator. Place an identification slip in the dessicator. Products in course of
preparation should always be labeled; do not rely on the memory.
